Posting those Pop Rockets again got me thinking. I reckon the Century 21 box art images of Probes 1 and 2 are the only ones that have ever been lifted and used on NON-Sword/Anderson items - as you can see below [the 'lifters' removed the SWORD livery at least]. Just Probe Force 3 missing on something somewhere. Or?
Above: Randy Rayder record by See Disc with it's 'FM ATHENA' rocket lifted from the PF1 box beneath.
Below: Unbranded 'Pop Rocket's with a straight lift of the PF2 image from the box below.
What are those other rockets and missiles on the pop rocket header card? Anyone know?
the plane shaped one was made into a Sword scale toy called 'Spacebird'. It had a blue rear end a little like XL5 with SB1 in big white letters, a white fuselage and a red nose with spring loaded needle. The wheels were almost identical to PF2. The other is based on the Titan ICBM
ReplyDeleteThat souns like one fabulous toy Wote! I just don't remember it. Wonder where they are now? Spacebird and SB appear on those cool Japanese that Terry's uncovered. Wonder of they're related? SB - Spacebird?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking - the airline pilot must be wondering just who in Hell he's P'd-off!
ReplyDeleteYeah, he's at Def Con 1 for sure!
