A couple of years ago I posted this cool Thunderbirds-Dalek hybrid knockoff pistol http://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/2009/06/thunderbirds-dart-guns.html. I loved it then and I still do. The bottom right illustration of the Thunderbird 2 remains tantalisingly hidden under the pistol's grip and I'd love to see it uncovered if anyone has this backing card loose?
To bring us right up to date, I this week recieved this comment on the original post - from reader Jcamts, who says "That gun looks more like the Spectrum Space gun they use in Crator 101." Now not being a Captain Scarlet buff I can't really add to this so I'll pass it over to my more erudite readers. Anyone?
Here's the "Crater 101" gun ...

Pretty much a remold/recast of the THUNDERBIRDS Lone Star sticker dart gun.

I've found a link to a picture on the Spectrum Headquarter website.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a great picture, but it's ok.

Nice one Jcamts. Great research. Whilst looking round too I came across a Century 21 toy gun from the States - nothing to do with Anderson. A future blog item methinks!
