I had the camera out. Might as well take more pics of the old toys. Good old Evel Knievel...at least his toys were good. This is one of the few items that I repurchased on eBay. The first set of pics is a combination of some of my original pieces (winder and dirt bike) with some 1990's eBay purchases. The featured white suit Evel is new old stock, fresh from the plastic bag. After getting him, I decided there is NO way I'm sending him on the stunt cycle. That cycle never lands right! So I got the red suited guy (and an extra helmet). The red suited guy is super clean too, but he has made a few rides on the stunt cycle.
We'll call these the "before" images...what Evel looks like before being subjected to about 10yrs of abuse.


And now the reason why I had to repurchase Evel on eBay...there was no amount of cleaning that was going to fix this mess. My original Evel doesn't have an unbroken wire in his body. Kind of like the real Evel was. Thanks for the memories Evel!
