Continuing my look at some of the New Captain Scarlet toys, this is the third Bandai mini set which features a small figure of Captain Blue.
This set has the Albatross deployment aircraft with it's cargo doors open forming it's landing feet. The toy is around 10 cm long allowing it to carry and deploy the Rhino vehicle.
The Rhino vehicle that comes with the set is around 7 cm long and has a engine sound effect. Only the front and rear wheels turn.
The detail on both vehicles is very good, particularly on the Rhino. The wording on the hatch was so small I couldn't make it out with my naked eye.
However, when I zoomed into the photo the wording was revealed.
Once again, another very nice little set from Bandai.
This is one of the reasons i dont really care for the new show, they seem to have abandoned the colour correlation with the vehicles and the design has become lazy and derivative of easy cgi work. The two craft look like theyve come from the Firestorm show or any xbox future wargame. The falcon and cheetah can be seen as descended from their older relatives, but any trace if the iconic SPV has been washed away. A real shame.
