Rachel had her own Spinner...according to ERTL 1:64 Blade Runner toy cars :)

Above was the ad that was at the back of the BR Souvenir Magazine

I did eventually pick-up the toy cars myself. The first person that I knew that had them, invited me over to see them, and I somehow broke the wheel-off on one of the Spinners. He also tried to shove the book "The Joy of Sex" into my face, too. :O Nobody wanted the cars when they were originally for sale, in most stores they just sat there. Again, another BR product that wound-up in clearance-bins (< $3.00 (US) for all in 1983).

Compared to other brands of Die-cast cars this size, these ERTL weren't very well-made, also quite easy to damage (especially the Police spinners), if one played with them. Mine are in storage, glowing-n-the-dark, someplace in Japan; although, I did take them out of their packaging when I purchased them. They spent their time on a shelf, and if anyone touched them I made a fuss for them to be careful, to not break the wheels.

I don't remember where I read it, but the idea among the crew was that the Alfa Romeo Spinner was indeed Rachel's. And maybe that's as canon as it gets. The model can be seen during the trip to Tyrell's in the film. The Spinner was said to be inspired from the Alfa Romeo Navajo. And almost just the same, Deckard's ground car design may have been influenced by the Alfa Romeo Carabo; however, that's simply speculative.

I dare you to play with the Police Spinners.

Thanks djrees56.

I now see that there is some confusion, on your box about what Spinner is Rachel's. I guess that mistake has to be worth something, too. Whatever you do ...don't open it, and start to play (may cost you millions, in the end).

Do what you feel is right, of course. Besides, there is a strong possibility that you'd become emotionally attached to them (despite their faults), once opened. Anyway, it's not like it's people imprisoned inside that packaging for 30+ years.

Animism (from Latin animus, -i "soul, life") is the worldview that natural physical entities including animals, plants, and often even inanimate objects or phenomena possess a spiritual essence. :O For example, Shinto, the traditional religion of Japan, is highly animistic. In Shinto, spirits of nature, or Kami, are believed to exist everywhere, from the major (such as The Goddess of the Sun), which can be considered polytheistic, to the minor, which are more likely to be seen as a form of animism.

I do believe at the time they were originally sold, there was certainly an ampule supply of these replicas (at least in NY, and CA states). I did see them around for years, as some places (like Drug, Grocery Stores, Gas Stations, etc) that sold them, didn't clear them out. I don't recall seeing the 'Gift Set' that you have very often, though.

Even though, the quality wasn't there, these made a nice display item for my bedroom, for many years. Once my guest noticed them, there'd be a short discussion about BR. And then, followed-up by a viewing of the film on videotape (I would serve Grilled-Cheese sandwiches (either ham or bacon inside), with Pop, midway through); especially, if they'd not ever seen the film before. At the very least, I'm comforted by the fact you want to play with them.

I did find an Canadian-made documentary, on the what Svanya is very concerned about (a love that has no name). However, I don't believe there is anything wrong with dinky car sex (or Hot Wheelin'). And provided that one stays away from the tunnels.

Although, I do figure they need to be removed from their protective condom, or you cannot feel sensations from the wheels. It would be kinda weird rubbing a box on your female partner, don't you think?

It's OK ...set them free, Mr. Sweety djrees56.
