JR21 MYSTERY BLUE THUNDERBIRD 4

 
This Thunderbird 2 caught my eye. Its described by the Japanese seller as "Chogokin Popy Imai Bullmark", which I think is an attempt to cover all bases. As far as I can tell it's actually JR21. Its the blue Thunderbird 4 that has me puzzled. Did JR21 issue the TB2 with one? Anyone recognise the blue TB4?

  1. I thought they never issued a TB4 at all, that one is one of those cereal ones? I've seen green ones before and I've got a yellow one.

  2. JR21 only did a green or red land rover with the Empire made ones or a Mole with the Made in England versions. That TB 4 is a giveaway from Smith Crisps

  3. I think you are right Scoop (although I had emailed Woodsy to say I thought it was the Kelloggs one too). I just checked the Kelloggs one, and the blue model is more detailed. I always thought the Smiths TB4 would be bigger than this.

  4. I'm lucky enough to have both, Andy . The Kelloggs one is about 45mm and the Smiths one is about 65mm.
