translated name: "BIN WEEVILS FUNNY BUMP & GO ACTION CAR" do you remember funtoys? the guys who made the FUNNY ACTION SMILE DANCE? well apparently they had (and still have) a factory in chile, and when bin weevils was at it's peak, a few weeks later, they started producing the BW bump and go car. usually this stuff can be found in fairs, but i found this one at a thrift store. i think there was also a red version without the bin weevils branding, released a year before bin weevils had reached it's peak. fixes: not much, the bump and go wheel was not working, but it was easy to fix. the plastic was a bit yellowed an the stickers were near falling out, but i painted the plastic back to brown, and glued the stickers back. stuff like this and the dancing emoji are quite rare, but im lucky i have both! (facts: this stuff is misbranded, it has mr bean the animated series stickers. the prototype version played lets groove by earth, wind and fire, and moved like fire flag paladin. (bump and go and rocking.) i know this because there's a factory video of it somewhere, but it was around 2008 when it was found. when i was a kid i had an angry birds version. (2011.) the original name of this was Cubo gorgojos: Automovil Gracioso (seen on a magazine.) a extremely rare international version exists, but it resembles mr beans mini, its small, it does not have the wheel and headlight movement, and it plays Calcutta (if that is how you spell it) pretty cool find tbh.
