As the dust settles on our Moonbase Central blogger’s hugely enjoyable weekend meet up which included a visit to the Reebok Stadium toy fair, I contemplate on my next post.
While at the toy fair I found a large Bandai Cheetah car from the New Captain Scarlet.
When the series first aired in 2005 my interest in it was pure curiosity as, with the odd exception I don’t really find CGI to my taste. I did like the vehicles though, although I never bothered picking any up.
Seeing this unboxed example on a stall I felt tempted, and as it was pretty cheap I thought I’d take a punt.
It’s quite a clever design, converting to a flying car at the push of a button.
The thing even came with action figures of Captain’s Scarlet and Blue.
Maybe it’s time I re-evaluated my opinion on the New Captain Scarlet.
I quite like New Captain Scarlet. The designs aren't bad and some of the stories are very good.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed New Scarlet too. I got the Corgi diecasts that came out - Falcon, Rhino and Cheetah. They're very good, though the Falcon interceptor is just a litte small for my liking. ;D
ReplyDeleteIs that 'deluxe' or 'dulux'? Just wondering if Mr Metcalf had a second job in B&Q?
ReplyDeleteThe car's in a lovely rich scarlet red colour from the Dulux range! ; D
DeleteI don't suppose anyone knows where I can find one of these, currently...?
