...OK, I rarely collect novelty "crap," but being the TV-addict that I am.... this fully functional 1/12 TV w/remote was a must. I also included a YouTube video (NOT MINE ).
These are also offered in several TV styles featuring other programs, such as Star Trek, Big Bang Theory, Friends... just to name a few.
Pretty cool, right? 😎 😏 😎 😏

Amazing! I'm going to write to that company and ask if they could include a Paladin program!

This is amazing and perfect for kids who never grew up. I want one!
I'm also reminded of Corgi's 1/43 Lehmann-Peterson Lincoln Continental with illuminated TV in the passenger space. Whilst I still have mine and friends all had one, I never saw the TV on.

Oh, you mean this? I'd never heard of this one (or perhaps I forgot )... either way, I love it! 😎 😎

Wow Chris I remember when those 112 scale Corvettes were being given away at KB's for like 20 bucks !

Steve, although mine was not purchased from KB TOYS.....about $25 is all I have into it (they used to be given away on eBay too ) In fact, you'll note the Ertl 1/12 1964 Pontiac GTO convertible in the last two pics.... I have $0 into that; it was given to me. Furthermore, of all the replicas I own, about 2.5% (50 models ) cost me nothing. They were either gifts, freebies from eBay deals gone south, or promo deals.
Sadly, unlike a few on among these Forums, I was never privy to spiffs or "complementery" models for review or promotional purposes or as payment for manufacture work done. All are excellent ways in which a collection can be acquired on the cheap. And being cheap..... I'm jealous. 😔 😏

Yep, I remember those ERTL GTOs and the Mustang. I always thought ERTL did a bad job on the Mustang wheels.

They did Steve, and the nutty part is that Ertl copied them, but reduced the scale for their 1/18 P-100 & Authentics Mustangs. Fortunately, replacing the 1/18 "mistakes" was far easier than fixing the 1/12 wheels. 🙄

Chris,
You made a 101% improvement. Now let's get that vert top fitted !

The TV needs 'rabbit ears' on top. I like the one with the test pattern. Back in the day, we had the test pattern with the bust of an Indian chief in the middle.

Yep!
I thought the very same thing.... I may try making them AND I will add an electrical cord w/plug. Why not, right? 😏
