HERO X

Like all SWORDies I have huge respect for the 'guest star' of the SWORD toy fleet, namely ZERO-X, which took centre stage in the 1966 THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO movie. It's no wonder that its the only SWORD toy that included a SUPREMO badge. Fellow vintage toy enthusiast Jim Lewis has made a fab video about Century 21's 1967 Zero X. Watch below courtesy of You Tube.
And here's some much older footage from 1967 itself, a TV advert from Japan for Imai's fantastic model kit licenced by Century 21, making the Imai model the same age as the Century 21 toy. Courtesy of Micky Bister via You Tube.
If anyone has the 1967 Imai Zero X and the Century 21 Zero X, I'd love a picture of them placed side by side!
 
 
Zero X pictures welcomed generally!
