And continuing the SWORD 2 theme, superblogger WOTAN has sent in this:
From Eldon toys, in 1970 comes an absolute beauty of a toy, such simple lines and innovative design slot so easily in to the SWORD fleet I've taken the liberty of re-badging it as a semi-official vehicle. Bearing a striking resemblance to the Sword 2 ATV fom the first story in the official Annual, the Eldon Amphibian is a really cool toy. Controlled by a handset comprising a small bellows, air pushes a sliding switch inside the cab and controls movement and steering. Huge ballon tyres and a built-in rear propellor mean this mighty machine can easily navigate across wide expanses of water as well as scrambling over rough terrain. Eldon toys are famous for a number of other cool sixties toys such as Billy Blastoff and Touch Command Computer Trucks.
Right on WOTAN! Any one seen any other SWORD 2 doppelgangers? Woodsy
