Love Bug is a bump and go Volkswagen Beetle made by Wen Sheng.
Apperance[edit]
The toy resembles a Volkswagen Beetle. It can come in yellow, red, white or black. It has the number 25 painted on the hood and doors, and it says "CONTEST" with some small text below the back window and on the top right of the hood. ExPress Train versions have the addition of a black and white checkered pattern and no small text. The small text on the normal variants reads: "
CONTEST
The speed of the extreme limit.
perfect performance.
"
Functions[edit]
When the switch is turned to the "on" position, the toy moves around with bump and go action while it plays music and the headlights and two lights in the trunk of the car flash. Occasionally, the toy elevates itself on a pair of stilts stored inside the toy and its doors and hood open and close whilst it shakes its front wheels. After a few seconds the doors, hood, and wheels stop moving and the stilts collapse back inside of the toy as it begins moving around again.
Trivia[edit]
