I seem to recall that some might have been burger toys (those freebies that KFC, BK, McD etc give out with kids meals) too.

There was a great adventure feel to it while still being light enough for most kids.

Post by: spacelord on 20 April 2008, 05:15:12 PM: I really like that film, (and bought the special edition dvd when it came out, you know, for the kids :wink: )

The concept art was done by Mike Mignola, for any Hellboy fans out there.

I have one or two vehicles from the toy range released at the time, as far as I can see from ebay the McD toys were caricatures from the film rather than scale replicas, which is a shame.

(I also really like Disney's Treasure Planet, which was released the following year and if you like animation is worth checking out).

Post by: TredHed on 20 April 2008, 07:56:23 PM: I just picked up some of the toys at Recruits Con. One gentleman seemed to have a stockpile of the the motion activated submersible toy and the pack that has a ton of part to make your own pulpish vehicles the vehicles pack looks pretty close to 28mm. The submersible he had cut in 1/2 length-wise and used the halves to make a 'cloudships of mars' type airship and the other 1/2 as a waterline sub.

I will post pics of at lest the airship if I can find my camera's cable.
