    The image file limits have been reset. Upper limits now are 100,000 when we have some images that exceed 5,000,000. I've set the pixels for no more than 1000 across the longest side, so if you resize to that all should be well. (The limits are larger than what I typically use, and my images turn out just fine, so I know it shouldn't be a problem)

    Thank you for your understanding.

          Yes - the pink cat was the Pink Panther! Corgi Jr. did many Super Hero and Cartoon related models that included figures such as Yogi Bear, Tom and Jerry, etc.

              I never saw this as a Corgi release, but a few years ago I bought it as a Hot Wheels release, without the similar-to-Corgi card/blisters that other Corgi-to-Hot Wheels models wore. I'll see if I can find photos, or maybe take some if not in my library already.

                Pretty sure the Corgi Jr. releases would have been back in the late '70's and into the early '80's.

                  Yep. In my searches I think the bike was originally cast for the Rockets line for a playset. It came with a "skateboard" that the bike set into and allowed the stunt rider to crash through walls and leap through hoops. Near as I can tell, the bike went on to host the Pink Panther and Batman, and probably a few others besides.

                    Oh, meanwhile, here's my example of the same bike of the original post (which proves I lied in my post above....I found this at a flea market a couple years ago:




                    I think my Hot Wheels version is the newer 'fat tire' Batcycle by Hot Wheels (the above, of course, being the same Corgi but with tampo intact on cowling.)
