BLUE BOX BLAKE'S 7 FEDERATION SPACESHIPS AND INTERCEPTOR

Hi Paul

Seeing some of the Blue Box toy images stirred a distant memory of these being issued as a 'Blakes 7' tie-in. Digging through my collection I found images in one of the DWB ('Dr Who Bulletin') compendiums, and have scanned the page for you (top picture. Ed). Funnily enough, I thought one of them (the 'flying disc' as shown in the 'Merchandise Guide' above. Ed) looked somewhat like the craft which shot the Scorpio down in the final episode (bottom picture. Ed)! Co-incidence or in-joke?

Best,

Nice observation Shaqui! I've never seen these Blue Box toys logoed up as Blake's 7. They must be rare. Excellent!

PS. Besides the blog link to the Blue Box posting above there is also a second earlier posting about Blue Box here.
