Anybody else got any of these little beauties? Got this about 15 years ago at an evening Toy Fair in Normanton ( do they still do evening fairs?). Love the name ECHO CAR and the box graphics are very Project Swordy don't you think? I have the instruction sheet to this if anyone needs a scan. Get the delight!PS. Vanguard and Mogura - the other two in the series.
Here is another fascinating example of synchronicity (or theft!) - the ECHO CAR is almost an exact duplicate of a Midori/Paramount model kit called PLANETOID ECHO 7. Unfortunately, I have not been able to obtain any graphics on this rare one, but I owned the model, and believe me, its as close a cousin as the Lunar Climber/Astro Car! Good show!
ReplyDeletenice one rob! if you ever get any pics again be sure to send them for posting on the blog!
ReplyDeleteI have received one of the Paramount Planetoid Echo "7" kits recently. Along with the Orbital Ship Super Arrow. I'll be taking some pics this weekend. Any idea on the value of these kits? Both are still bagged in the same box. Either it came as a 2 in 1 or someone took the box tops of the two kits and made 1 box.
