Stranger Than Friction

This cool little plastic friction drive Missile Car recently featured on fleabay. A new one on me, it sort of reminded me of the sleek lines of the LP Moon Explorer pictured below.
I suspect though that the Missile Car is related to Nitto's early 1960's Fileder 2, which appears on the superb Japan Super Fantastic Models online site.
More pictures of the Missile Car to follow in the future.

  1. Now isn't that a super design? I'd prefer it without the big missile ... better as an exploration vehicle. But even so ... I do like that, and what we can see of the artwork too.

    Do you have a photo of the box-front, Woodsy?

  2. Not one I own Toad but I think more pics may be on the cards in 2012 if you can bear [bare?] the wait. BTW wonder what a Great Fileder means?

  3. Aha - I've got a partially complete one of those in red and yellow that I blogged a while ago!
