TASK FORCE 3 BY SL AKA HEN'S TEETH

Feast your eyes Swordheads on the new member of the Moonbase SWORD fleet, the ultra rare boxed TASK FORCE No.3 by SL model no. 121 C. It's a thing of rare beauty I'm sure you'll agree. It's been on the blog before last year but now the said toy has been acquired as a permanent member of Moonbase Central. I just love the box art, which if T in a Circle had produced a TF3, would look like this I imagine. I don't know much about SL but I've blogged what I do know before. Did they do any more SWORD? They have some some other interesting toys and probably deserve a Checklist when I get round to it. Contributions welcome. In the meantime just enjoy the pictures and be warmed by the knowledge that there are still unusual and even unknown SWORD and SWORD-related toys out there somewhere just waiting to be found by Swordheads like us!

I was trying to figure out what other toy the above photos reminded me of…and after a surprisingly convoluted Google search, here it is. Honestly, I didn't even realize the Kenner SSP was ever sold in the UK until I discovered that link...

Yes, I can see what you mean, RAB.

And well done, Woodsy. Another treat for us all.
