It appears Funwoods is release 3 new variants of the Racer variant of the VAMP mold: Funskool released the original Hasbro vamp in India and in 200 started doing the MRF Racing Jeep variant. These appear to be more repaints of that mold. Should be good for o-ring fans and customizers. Anybody more familiar with the Indian toy market know the relationship between Funwoods and FunSkool? I know the previous racing VAMPs have been released under the Giggles branding which is is like Funskool's Fisher Price Some other write ups about the older variants from Funskool: https://thedragonfortress.com/2021/0...vamp-repaints/ https://www.whenitwascool.com/funskool-vamp-racing-jeep https://www.joeaday.com/super-cop-rescue-squad-jeep/

I wish they would release these stateside. I always wanted the police one for Shockwave and Law and Order. More colors variations of the vamp are always nice to see.

i got it for my recall and longbow figures. i dont want these two teams to have a set military vehicle but take whatever is available to them in the field. one note about the red vamp that i have, there are like weird rivets holding it together in some places. i dont like that very much. dont be surprised if these new vamps have them too. |

Man, flip the colors of the black/red one and that's bitchin' sweet. I'd still get it as is, of course.

Luckily you can basically get that already since it?s basically just an inverted MRF Racer. You can get it for roughly $20 from ebay

Every time I see a "new" VAMP from the classic tooling in India, I wonder just how many O-ring molds they still have that are usable.

I regret not buying more when they were that price. Gave most of what I bought to my (now ex-)wife's nephews. Unfortunately, even if they still have all the molds they had when they stopped production in the early 00's, the probably have deteriorated in storage. Only the few that saw limited rerelease in '09 are probably salvageable. |

It looks like they've finally removed the rivets! That was the one thing that kept me from getting the previous versions. I just couldn't get past those rivets.
These will be great to go with the Super7 O-Ring Joes. |
