Ya know.. your post has inspired me to do a post on a similar toy from the late 70's called "Little Van Goes" which let you create your own custom vans!! I still have the original toy in its package. I'll have to break it out and design some groovy vans for old times sake!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12791420477284901556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-72870939021961625112011-12-06T12:47:11.483-05:002011-12-06T12:47:11.483-05:00In that vein, my search did unearth the Ultraman P...In that vein, my search did unearth <a href="http://macmac.at.webry.info/200712/article_3.html" rel="nofollow">the Ultraman Print 4000 in action</a>.
