Many pretenders court the throne but there is only one true King of SpaceX -SWORDdom: the majestic Nuclear Ferry. I can't decide which is rarer, the SpaceX version or its larger Century 21 cousin. What is certain is that both are beautiful toys and quite unique in terms of shape and design.
Featuring a red and silver pen-like fuselage, a sleek blue front dropship and a burgundy probe, the Pippin Rovex Triang Nuclear Ferry is quite superb and amazingly I actually have the loose one pictured above [alas, minus the probe]. The silver carded S2 toy is equally handsome and this example is in the Wotan collection.
As always, pictures of your SpaceX 2 toys always welcomed for the blog.
I had all the Spacex I toys as a kid and never even saw a single Spacex II vehicle. They must've been scarce.
ReplyDeleteMe neither Kev, never saw them as a kid in Preston. Just remember SpaceX 1. It was a revelation to see the second series for the first time in the mid-1990's.
ReplyDeleteTheres probably as many spacex ferries in circulation as C21 versions. Personally, the Spacex is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteReally Bill, so few?
ReplyDeleteThink so. Ferryman has one of each, as do I. You have a Spacex, Paul V has half a Spacex, apart from that, im not aware of any others.
ReplyDeleteBut if anybody reading this has one they want to sell, then Paul V will be truly delighted to hear about it! :)
