Amongst my recent hawl of miniature toys from Japan were two SWORD gems, a blue Scramble Bug and a yellow Task Force 3. Both are new to me and new to the blog. Each measures about a half inch in length.
There was also a small Spectrumesque helicopter as well, which sits well with the two SWORD vehicles.
For fun, I've here placed them all together along with an American Blue Shield LEM and astronauts, which recently landed at Moonbase.
The Scramble Bug and Task Force 3 bring my fleet of Japanese miniatures to eleven. There are also two differently coloured Space Gliders but I haven't got them. All are made of hard plastic and are numbered. I believe they are from the same but as yet unknown company. They are very similar to the Takeuchi soft rubber miniatures, which were marketed as UFO and I shall post more research I've done on this connection during the summer.
Thats almost a whole sword fleet! I love miniature ships like this!
