This is a special Moonbase Video, as I never thought I'd be filming the beautiful Nuclear Ferry! But here it is in all its glory readers! So I've taken full advantage of this toy being on loan to me and described as much of it in as much detail as I can.
Remember, there's only six or seven of these toys that we're aware of at the present time, so getting it on film was a must. Back in 2008 when I started the blog there weren't any!
Gorgeous beyond words, the Ferry is true blog legend, which has given up its secrets - box art, design, existence - very slowly over many years. It is still surrounded in mystery, which I discuss in the film. Your ideas on them would be welcomed.
Its been great fun videoing this rare toy for you. In many ways the Nuclear Ferry IS Project SWORD. Enjoy!
Pure Heaven, thank you for the walk-through Woodsy!
ReplyDeleteAbout the Badge, statistically based on known examples, the Ferry came with a Commander badge.
Another interesting detail, in the picture included in the Manual, the Taxi section does not have the disc antennae on both sides. Instead, there is another of those black nose tips that both the Taxi and the Passenger section has. As a matter of fact, in some examples of the Ferry, there indeed are three of those nose tips included!
Glad you enjoyed it Arto. Its a joy to talk about. Thanks for the info on the badge. The antenna info is fascinating too. I didn't know that. We should do a joint article about all the Ferry's we know of!
