That Six Million Dollar Man kit has just about the strangest box art illustration I've ever seen!

Yea! Fundimensions were really competition for Arii's wierdness in those days!

Arii also had a couple black cross ( HItler's emblem ) kits, I know of a VW, but cant find any pics of it. Fodder for "what were they thinking". I'd love to have a lot of the kits posted for the, ummmm, uniqueness!

Greg...where did you get these images or these kits?

Those two images look like facing pages of a book, rather than box tops.

When I was a kid I had a ski-doo kit,maybe 1/12.I've never seen another one in person or on any forums

There are a few more early '70s snowmobile kits from Japanese manufacturers, too, which I've seen on eBay.

Where's the Chuka Cannon? Oh wait - nevermind - last time that was posted, it locked a topic....

You asked for it.



I also got a few more 1:24 SciFi kits:

I had forgotten about that boner-missle kit. Thats a good thing!

Wouldn't ya love to see into the mind of the guy that designed this?

Arii American Violence T-Bird. Go to the link, blow up the pic, and read the text. There were a few of these kits that caused a vibrating buzz in ones bowells! If that doesnt get you maybe its "winker signal" will!

How cool would this be? Says 1/20 scale.

[Ben]

I have that

I have that Winnebago. They used to give them away at Winnebago dealers. It was made two different ways. The first being an all assembled promo type toy and the second being the "kit" which was the same thing, just disassembled. It has stickers for the stripes and is designed to be motorized.

I have a few in my stash. Here are some.
Fiat Abarth 131 with opening doors and clockwork motor



Life-Like Roman Chariot with no date to indicate age



And a Naval 24 Pounder Cannon with scale rope and chain. The nifty thing about this one is that it's in 1/24th scale!

[Harry P.]

That Roman Chariot is too cool! I would love to see it "Under Glass!"

[Casey]

Maybe not super obscure, but I didn't know there was a 1/16 Ford GT40 'til I saw this:

These are getting scarce, will occasionally pop up on eBay...

Camaro Kammback and Firebird Kammback



Also one by Lindberg...



And the Spy Hunter 2 model kit by Motormax, nothing more than a metal kit of the Saleen S7 with Spy Hunter 2 badging, but cool nonetheless.
