Greenlight Garbage Pail Kids: Frye Day

 

Happy Friday the 13th everyone! I hope everyone survives the scariest day of the year! For today's post I wanted to share a collaboration between Greenlight Collectibles and Topps' Garbage Pail Kids that I thought was perfect for today's "theme".

Frye Day was included in series 2 of the line and features a reproduction of the vintage GPK card/sticker as well as a 1970 Jeep CJ-5.

For the most part I really enjoy the 1:64 scale vehicles that Greenlight Collectibles has released. The GPK line is hit and miss with the vehicle selection in my opinion, but this is a great vehicle and choice for the Friday the 13th theme. I believe it was in the original flick that one of the caretakers of Camp Crystal Lake drove a jeep similar to this one.

The Jeep has a nice metallic dark green paint with a removable hard plastic top that is to resemble to a soft top. There aren't any opening parts on this vehicle. The rubber tires are thick and have "Garbage Pail Kids" written in white on the walls of the tires, including the spare tire on the back, 

I nice little added touch is the inclusion of Jason Vorhees' iconic white hockey mask tampoed on the rear window of the vehicle. I don't think I noticed this until I recently took the Jeep out of it's plastic prison!

How are you spending your Friday the 13th? I might just pull out my Blu-Ray collection of Friday the 13th movies and give the original a spin again. Whatever you do to celebrate the day, have fun and stay out of the woods!

Greenlight Collectibles: The Rookie - 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

1971 Chevrolet Chevelle SS

Prior to this purchase, I knew very little of the Greenlight Collectibles brand. I've seen many of their releases before hanging on the pegs at my local Hobby Lobby store, but I never really bothered to look into them before picking up this Chevelle from their Hollywood series.

I love the ABC television show The Rookie so when I saw this car at a Walmart store I had to pick it up. I had just started purchasing both Auto World and Johnny Lightning cars so perhaps that helped put this on my radar? While I can't recall this 1971 Chevelle SS being featured in the show, it's a beautiful car in a beautiful shade of blue. Die-cast body, opening hood w/ a detailed engine, rubber wheels with shiny chrome details.
