LAND ROVER IN DAKTARI



The die-cast Land Rover from the cinema TV, a set of Daktari was produced in China by Corgi Classic Ltd. The Length is 9.8 cm.

“Daktari” (a language of Swahilee, means Doctor) It was a story of a veterinarian who learnt a behavior of the animal in order to help every kind of animal in West Africa. Daktari was a television series that aired on CSB from 1966-1969. The show had distinctive accompanying music that was a fusion of jazz and African influences. Shelly Manne contributed music; he released an affiliated record, Daktari: Shelly Manne Performs and Conducts His Original Music for the Hit TV Show, on the Atlantic Records label in 1968. According to the liner notes on the album, Manne and his fellow percussionists play ankle and wrist jingles, Thailand mouth organs, aungloongs, ocarinas, vibraphones, tympani, and different kinds of marimba.


The original Corgi company never made another safari toy, but in 1998, new Corgi issued a commemorative Daktari set. No.07104 included the old 1/43rd scale Land Rover, but the wheels are different, and the rear window in the cab is larger. The black stripes are bolder, as are the Wameru transfers, which are now on the pick-up sides. Included with the vehicle are very good models of Judy the chimp and Clarence with his glasses. The box is particularly pleasing, with Daktari logo, Clarence artwork, publicity stills and photos of a Land Rover on Safari. Although it’s not a limited edition, it may prove a little harder to find than its contemporaries. Shop here.

I do not usually review item's I buy on Amazon yet I am so pleased with the quality and detail of this product, I just had to rave. I have been collecting die cast models from the Franklin and the Danbury mint's for the past 20 years. I first purchased an inexpensive fire truck for my son. He loved and appreciated it so much, I became interested. I examined it and was quite impressed. I bought him 3 others. I than ordered the entire presidential series after I bought the model of Kennedy's blue Lincoln. The paint finish is unmatched. The detail and molding is hard to believe. No details were missed! Even small presidential seals adhered to the inside back doors. There is even carpeting on the floor boards and trunk! It is much better quality than the mint's for a 3rd of the price. Try it, you'll be hooked. - Timothy P. Madrid "Timitzer"-CA

HOT WHEELS FIRST EDITIONS BATMOBILE 2004


I collect bat mobiles, and haven't been happy with the new design since the 1966 George Barris version... until now ! This car enhances all the great features from the popular T.V. Series version. Everything from the domed windows and duel exhausts, to the extreme bat- winged tail fins, makes this one of my favorite Batman "Hot Wheel" car's ever ! The NEW purple and black paint job was the icing on the cake ! (Comment by Scott C. Derry "Toy Collector") See more.

NEW VERSION OF A CLASSIC CAR : TV SERIES BATMOBILES

Hot Wheels 2007 First Editions 1966 TV Series Batmobile #15/36. This car has the classic gloss black with red pinstripe paint job, mesh grill, black base and chrome wheels.

Comment this diecast by Davidp (Florid, October 17, 2007)
I've been a big fan of the T.V. Batmobile since I was a kid. I've collected several versions over the decades including the Corgi, and the Husky diecasts, but I was never quite satisfied because, no matter how nice they were, they just weren't quite right. This new Hot Wheels version, while not spot-on accurate, comes closer than the previous versions. I particularly like the red pinstriping down the sides, although it would've been nice if it continued around the front and rear of the car. But hey, this is a toy. If you're really hoping for the ultimate in accuracy, you'll have to wait until early 2008, when Hot Wheels will be be releasing their 1:18 scale diecast, which will be scanned from the original car used in the '66 television show. Until then, this little gem will do nicely. See more.
