Showa Volkswagen Beetle and a :40 scale friction VW

The original toy with original box, photo taken from the web.

Hello my cyber friends!  I've been busy the past few week hunting for vintage stuff and i bagged a few from Tokyo.  Those hauls are another story and I'll start with my vintage  VW tin toy.

I got these tin toys  last year and I never had the chance to photograph them because they went straight to my showcase.  It was a gift from Technophobia last Christmas 2009.  I believe these toys were his for a very long time and he gave them to me to add to my growing vintage collection.

I'd love to tell more stories about these awesome vintage toys but for now I'll let the toys do the talking.  I hope you guys like it the way I love them.

Viva vintage!

Comments are always welcome and I am still looking for info regarding the small 1:40 scale friction tin toy.

DRAGBUS! Tomica Dandy Volkswagen VW Transporter, Made in Japan

A lot of Hotwheels collectors are into the Dragbus craze and I am just wondering if this Tomica Dandy VW bus was the first one to equip a wing on a VW bus.  Could this be the precursor of the Dragbus?  I wonder which one came first.  This Dandy is a vintage made in Japan specimen in perfect condition.  I got it sealed with a tape and I was the very first one after the factory to open it.  This baby could be at least 20 years old.  This model is really old but is still very mint condition.  Even the rubber band is original that holds the 2 bikes on top of the roof.

Let me know what you think guys!
