Scooby Doo
Mystery Machine Van Model Kit

| |
The
Polar Lights Mystery Machine
from Scooby Doo. I built it pretty much stock out of the box.
The figures are not that great, but they were redone (prepainted
and preassembled) in a later reissue.
It
is molded in this rare green, so I just clear coated it rather
than paint it. I did not think I could match that color with
paint.
There
is no scale on the box, but it appears to be around 1/20 or
larger. It's a snap kit.
In
the cartoon, the engine was in the rear, which makes you believe
it may be a VW or Corvair van, but in the episode "The
Creeper", the "radiator" overheats and Shaggy
and Scooby go for a walk to get water. (it's a cartoon, accuracy
is not what they were after :-)

- The
Best of Hanna Barbera: Tunes from the Toons - The Best Of
Hanna-Barbera. Reissue of best-selling compilation featuring the
theme tunes & underscores from those classic & much-loved
TV cartoons that were first transmitted between 1958-1974, Scooby
Doo, The Flintstones, Yogi Bear, Top Cat, Huckleberry Hound, Dastardly
& Mutley, Penelope Pitstop & many others. 48 tracks
- The
Art of Hanna-Barbera : Fifty Years of Creativity - With the
revival of animation in Hollywood, this latest of Sennett's books
on movies is timely. Idea man William Hanna and artist Joseph
Barbera created Tom and Jerry at MGM, then through revolutionary
limited TV animation built today's thriving "General Motors
of animation," home of the Flintstones
and so many others. Reading like an official company history,
scooby doo full of praise for the men and their creations, this
is informative, upbeat, and impressive, with deep colors on heavy
paper. The simple Hanna-Barbera art is a bit spare for these giant
glossy pages, compared with the delicate detail in Christopher
Finch's The Art of Walt Disney (1973). But having between two
covers all the Hanna-Barbera characters, series, features, and
lore is a welcome event. Recommended for art, media studies, and
popular collections.
- Scooby
Doo, Where Are You! - The Complete First and Second Seasons
- Watching all the shows back-to-back reveals evolving complexity
in the scripts. Over time, Scooby-Doo's creators added multiple
bad guys in cahoots with major villains, and developed sub-plots,
backstories, and even appealing allies and friends of Mystery,
Inc., a traveling band of young debunkers of supernatural phenomena.
Riding around in their psychedelic Mystery Van, preppie leader
Fred and his friends--haughty Daphne, brainy Velma, quasi-hippie
Shaggy, and Shaggy's best pal, Scooby, an excitable Great Dane--chase
down and are chased by alleged ghouls who generally turn out to
be venal humans running various scams. Included here is Scooby-Doo's
premiere, "What a Night for a Knight," in which the
gang looks into the disappearance of a noted archaeologist and
end up in a "haunted" museum. The fun "Go Away
Ghost Ship" finds our heroes helping a shipping company daunted
by the apparent ghost of pirate Red Beard, while the silly classic
"A Tiki Scare Is No Fair" concerns a Hawaiian vacation
for Mystery, Inc. disrupted by a witch doctor.
