No set of Thunderbird toys would be complete without Lady Penelope’s futuristic Rolls Royce, Fab 1.
JR21 released two versions based on the same basic toy, a friction drive and a remote control.
On the other hand, apart from the aforementioned retractable guns, Parker and Lady Penelope figures, the remote control version has a little more to offer. Battery powered forward and reverse motion with manual steering on the front wheels, and working front lights.
"Very good, M'lady"
Hi i have a JR21 FAB 1. Could you please put onto the right track of where's the best place to sell such a collectors toy. Both the box and car are in Ax condition. Thank you Nits
ReplyDeleteHi Nits
ReplyDeleteEbay is the place for it. See how other FAB 1's have done in the 'Sold' listings section of the advanced search.
Best of luck.
Hi does anyone know if there is anyone selling the canopy/windscreen for the friction version. Replacement or repro not fussed.
ReplyDeleteThanks Scott
Hi Scott, the only place I know who does quality replica parts for the JR21 FAB 1 is ToyReplicas.com but unfortunately they don't do a windscreen as yet. I'd drop them a line and enquire.
Deletehi Scott, keep checking with this guy http://www.bigredtoybox.com/cgi-bin/s-mart.cgi?command=listitems&type=search&pos=0&search=Thunderbirds or you could attempt to make your own home made bubble out of say a clear soap box https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Soap-Dish-Case-Dispenser-Holder-Box-Container-Travel-Carry-Bathroom-Bath-New-uk/312563470852?var=611283678231&hash=item48c63c1204:g:2EgAAOSwndBcqGPw or a clear mouse cover like apple https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/264519587294?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=264519587294&targetid=602114963966&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046344&poi=&campaignid=1669190312&mkgroupid=67214009880&rlsatarget=pla-602114963966&abcId=1063846&merchantid=6995734&gclid=CjwKCAiAh5_uBRA5EiwASW3Iakfa20RAVV7gsAqk8elMb0-tErH0oJsNxD0va4rtYWl9K1-RTMTzgBoC2rUQAvD_BwE or a mouse box if you can find one https://union-li.en.made-in-china.com/product/BKkmSufgJtrl/China-Clear-Packaging-Box-for-Computer-Mouse.html . I have not tested any of these ideas. They are just ideas and you would need to check measurements and shape etc. Good luck
