Summary
An orange metal toy cement mixer with a plastic bowl and handle, called 'Dizzy', from the Bob the Builder range of toys. The handle turns the bowl. The base has black rubber tyres on its four wheels, and has face at the opposite end to the handle, consisting of a moulded grin and painted black and white eyes. A plastic model of Bob the Builder whose details are painted on - blue dungarees, red and yellow checked shirt, yellow safety helmet and brown boots. He also has a tool belt with moulded and painted tools. The packaging consists of a clear plastic moulded piece into which the cat and bird fit, which itself fits inside another clear plastic piece which is stuck to a colour-printed piece of cardboard. It is only stuck at one side of the clear plastic piece as the rest was pulled apart to remove the toys. Printed on the front of the cardboard is the Bob the Builder logo and 'Bob (ampersand) Dizzy', while on the back is safety information and labelled line drawings of other products in the range. Total number of items is 4.
