Eats Me Dusts!

I was recently gifted this, the kind person who found it thought i'd dig it. The gesture alone floored me but so did the toy. Popeye rack toys could fill football fields but the majority of them are nondescript items with little connection to the character, some of them laughable.

Leave it to Fleetwood to go the extra mile, I'm positive I've seen Popeye in a racecar before and I kind of love the little Popeye in the car.





He just puts the whole thing over the top for me.

I bet if Popeye raced for F-1,they'd blow NASCAR away in the ratings.

That is really cool. I love the card art, that subtly suggests Popeye is about to pick up the car and run on Spinach power.
