Knockoffs usually mix things up and the Rocket Gun and Thunderbirds is a great example! Scoop will be happy with the Dalek action on the card and all Thunderbirds fans love Thunderbird 2. There's even a second one underneath the grip not to mention the pistol itself with 2 Dalek sucker darts! What's not to like!
Nice tenuois Dalek/Thunderbird connection there Woodsy.
ReplyDeleteI believe that toy gun design was previously used as a Dan Dare water pistol produced by Lone Star.
That version was called an 'aqua-jet gun', and had 'Dan Dare - Aqua Jet' embossed on the handle.
Tenuous but tasty! There must be more Dalek Thunderbirds crossovers Scoop, maybe even official ones. They were TV21 stablemates weren't they?
ReplyDeleteI don't recall many official Thunderbird /Dalek crossovers Woodsy. Century 21 records did a record featuring the Daleks with part of the soundtrack from the The Chase story and joining narration by David Graham.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the Daleks did feature in the TV21 comic, the City Magazines licence didn't extend to spin off publications like summer specials and Annuals.
