If Only.. toys that never were

I recently asked if there was a favourite vehicle that readers would liked to have seen made into a toy. There have been countless great designs over time which cried out for a toy incarnation, but for one reason or another never made it.


Andy B reckons that Damocles sinister black ship from Mike Nobles beautiful Fireball XL5 strip would be his choice - a design not dissimilar to the Spacex Supply Force Mercury.

Ed would liked to have seen the awesome Crablogger, but reckoned the complexity would have been too much for a simple toy.

 RAB cites the Captain Scarlet Moon Mobile from episodes 'Lunarville' and 'Crater 101' a design which was revamped for UFO. He would liked Dinky to have expanded the UFO range with a version with springy legs and a diecast body!

Rocket Punch still yearns for the day that the Air/Sea Rescue Helijets made it into toy form. Konami did provide one of the smaller designs recently. A rare japanese Thunderbirds Aerocar turned up briefly on ebay recently, but mysteriously vanished - anyone spot it?

Finally, one of my favourites was always the WOMBAT from the 'Duchess Assignment' the flying aircarrier was such a good model, it would have made a wonderful toy. These days I have been lucky to find a poor relation, the Zero Hour Scorch Bomber. Maybe one day though..
