Spanish toy maker Clim has made some seriously unusual toys in its Serie Galactic Range and this massive machine is no exception. With more than a passing resemblance to the Project Sword Survey Vehicle (AKA Sand Flea) from the Annual and Make a Model book, this is as close as we ever got to a toy incarnation of the craft. With two large internal balloon tyres and a small dolly wheel at the front, the Explorex is large enough to seat two GI Joe scale figures and is controlled by a two stick remote on a large wire. As it chugs along, there are two flashing lights on a wire stem between the wheels and twin rocket launchers at the ready on the front. Clearly intended as a war machine as opposed to an exploration vehicle, it originally came with two figures of pilots copied from an action figure range, but cast in a much inferior rubbery plastic.
