THE ASTRO LAUNCH FIGHTERSHIP: UGLY OR NICE?




The Astro Launch Fight Ship. I was going to post this as another ugly space toy but I kinda like it. It does have some class and a decent design. The overall shape reminds me a little of the rear section of SWORD's Probe Force 2. I suppose it was inspired maybe by the Imperial Cruiser in Star Wars. In fact, the artwork reminds a lot of the front cover of the Star wars Droids book The White Witch seen here.



With its flying discs it could be a lot of fun and wouldn't look too out of place in a Project SWORD, Thunderbirds or Major Matt Mason toy fleet I reckon.. Blog friend Joe Morabito has one over at Main Street Toys in Minneapolis.


What do you think readers? Ugly? Appealing? Anyone got one?

  1. I had one of these with little pop up fighters in place of the discs and actually branded it as Sword myself, with spare decals. Its actually a good toy!
