Oh wow! That Standard Plastics Products Davey carrying case is wild cool and highly coveted by Weird-Ohs enthusiasts (including myself).

Those Collegeville "Big Daddy" Roth costumes are boss cool! There's also a Surfink:

Were you the one to get Ed Roth's autograph on the costume? ??? I never actually met Roth anywhere but I had a couple phone conversations with him circa 2000.

:cool:

I believe the Nash are the most highly prized skateboards by collectors. Am I wrong? ???

I have a Shark:

:cool:

Actually the Tony Hawk and 1970's era boards are in the most demand out here.

Yeah, I got him to sign at at the Hot Rod Hootenanny at the Moon Records parking lot show. My buddy got an old toilet seat painted with a Rat Fink airbrushed treatment.

Love those especially in black. I wonder what they were supposed to be used for? Mine is only a few inches thick. I assume there are 4 in the set. I’ve had mine like forever and haven’t seen another other than these.

That one I've had for some 25 years:

 

 

This one though was among my most exciting acquisitions last year:

Revell_Rat_Fink_in_Lotus_djJwxHJqenRG7pa

Revell_Rat_Fink_in_Lotus_1_x6T28ZY56VLaS

Here's the ad that Revell ran in publications such as Boy's Life in 1964-65 to advertise the two kits:

So it's just the car?  Ratfink not included?

A Rat Fink figure proportional to the car and resembling the one pictured on the box is included. The inclusion of the fink figures made the slot cars too top heavy of course and they were very poor performers on any slot car track.

Those LP's are wild cool! I remember seeing one of the "Big Daddy" Roth ones when I was actively accumulating vinyl LP's circa 1970. I have one other "Big Daddy" Roth LP you've not pictured:

I like to relax to the sweet sounds of Rods 'n Ratfinks:

But I don't have the Weird-Ohs or Silly Surfers LP's. I take it that yours are two separate albums. I believe I've seen an LP with the Weird-Ohs on the front of the sleeve and the Silly Surfers on the back.

How come it doesn't appear in any of the pictures of the open box?
