Superkings - Am I the only fan here?

[Wolfie Ginsburg]

I like Kings. I have at least one of every one made

Hi Wolfie, Nice to see you mate. Happy holidays.

Hi Wolfie, great to hear from you. I'd love to see some more photos of your Kings one day.

Usually that's the case with me, which means I should be collecting only grey wheels but for some reason it doesn't seem to apply to MB. Also, I like transitional SF a lot so I should be a real Superking fan. I think I'm just not as familiar with them.That's why I'd be interested in seeing pics although if I fall in love with them and start buying them it's all your fault, lol.

p.s. had to look up Soopa Coopa. Yikes! Yeah, I'm not into the fantasy junk either. I was even that way with Hot Wheels which I hold responsible for starting the fantasy trend, but I would only buy HW that looked like real or at least believable cars.

If I collected only those models older than me, I could only have a shelf full of early large Mokos, and maybe the first three Regular Wheel Castings to join them....... kwakers

I have a superking question, I have 2 hercules cranes one is lemon yellow and one is a mix of 2 yellows. the cab is lemon and the crane is more sunflower yellow. how many different yellows is there? I also have a blue hercules and a green. ??? I will post pictures when I can.

I don't know which is worse, the Soopa Coopa or the Tyre Fryer. Someone gave me the latter one Christmas and I could hardly look at it.

You have to admit - that would be a damn fine shelf to have though

Having just been given a copy of the 40 Years book for Christmas I see you know a thing or two about these Kings
Anything you can add and/or correct in any of the threads I start would be much appreciated.

I agree that the Fryer is a hideous monstrosity of a model.. its designer should be banished forever to the Lesney dungeons, never to see daylight again

However, I think the 'Coopa' is a tad more attractive. Only that ghastly, angular 'roof' at the back spoils its otherwise streamlined looks!


Have a nice one!
