PROBE FORCE 1 NEW DISCOVERY BY TERRY HARLE AND WOTAN

February is turning out to be another completely amazing SWORD month too!

Just look at this amazing knockoff (or is it the original source?) Probe Force 1 discovered by the unstoppable team of Terry Harle and WOTAN on Yahoo Japan. It is in the models section so it may be a model kit. Hard to tell as is the makers mark on this picture. I'm sure I've seen the SB livery somewhere else? Currently bids over £200 required. To look at the original Japanese listing click here.
I didn't think I could be amazed again this year but I am! All hail the Harle Wotan toy detective agency!

i reckon this is a clear knockoff, the art is cheesy and irregular and it has all the appearance of something copied hastily from a picture as opposed to the more finished look of the SWORD packaging. And its a kit too..
