New to the blog, I just love this toy, the Ilha Secreta Thunderbirds or Thunderbirds Secret Island. Made by Trol of Brazil in 1968, it really does look great in these pictures, which feature once again on the neat Brinquedos Raros. It reminds me a little of the island base issued to shops for displaying JR21 Thunderbirds toys, which we blogged last year, although I think this Trol island is a much smaller scale than JR21. Here are more views of the box and the toy base, which I assume is plastic. Lovely.
If only we could find pictures of the Century 21 Toys SWORD Moon Base! In the meantime, has anyone got one of these Trol Islands?
I had one in those times!!! Remains with me, a Rocket number 1!
ReplyDeleteSuper unknown. It looks like a great toy Tracy Island toy!
DeleteI had one Secret Island too. See this one that was in its original box about 30 years, absolutely intact!

Trol was one of the best brazilian toys' factories.
Hi Mauro. I agree. That's a fabulous example of the Isla Secreta on You Tube. Really FAB!
DeleteWhat else did Trol make? Any space toys?
The Company worked from 1939 up 1991 and made many plastic toys types like transport miniatures, games, dolls...
DeleteIs difficult to find an old toy, but take a look in someones:

Thanks for the link Mauro. Fascinating. I see that Trol made R2D2 type robots as well as lots of other toys. Thanks.
