Johnny Lightning Dioramas









It's too bad Johnny Lightning didn't make their 2 car dioramas a regular feature each year because they featured some great cars.  Here's three of the sets that I have in my collection.

First up is the James Bond 007 40th Anniversary diorama called Choose Q's Ruse.  The two cars in this set are the blue Sunbeam Alpine convertible (Dr. No) and the Aston Martin V12 Vanquish (Die Another Day).   It should be noted that the Sunbeam Alpine from the movie was light blue not dark blue.  More about James Bond's cars here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_James_Bond_vehicles.  Along with the cars comes 2 Bond figures and a Q figure.

The second Johnny Lightning Diorama set is the Back to the Future "Great Scott, it's a time machine" set with a white stepvan and the legendary Delorean from the 1985 movie.  Johnny Lightning produced four different versions of the Delorean for their Hollywood on Wheels releases.  Doc Brown, Marty McFly and Einstein the dog figures come with this set.

Finally, I've got the Surf's Up with the Monkees diorama that has a VW Van and the Monkeemobile based on a customized GTO.  Very cool redline rubber wheels on both of these vehicles. And look there's the four Monkee figures too, Michael, Micky, Peter and Davy.  The Volkswagen van was discontinued from the Johnny Lightning lineup after appearing in this diorama set.
