The second thing new to the blog this month is Spanish.
Its a gorgeous variant of the Hawk by Bullycan.
I have a number of Bullycan SpaceX-styles toys including Hawks as part of their Aviones Cosmicos and Portoaviones ranges.
This one is new to me and the blog.
Although its the standard soft plastic the company used, this Bullycan Hawk is quite sophisticated compared to their other simpler versions.
Besides the new tri-colour scheme, which I love, this one has retractable wings
and unlike these hollow Bullycans ..
.. this one also has a solid base on which the wheels are attached.
It fairs really well against the original Tri-ang SpaceX Hawk too
They are the same size
Its interesting to compare it with the Tri-ang original and one of Bullycan's simpler Hawks as featured on my Bullycan Aircraft carrier
All three are more or less the same size
The next question is whether this special Hawk came on special packaging or the standard Aviones Cosmicos triple pack Bullycan issued?
Maybe one day we'll find out. In the meantime I'm happy my new Hawk has joined my growing Bullycan fleet.
For more information about Bullycan's Spacex I made a video a while back
and for even more detailed information consult my friend Paul Vreede's beautiful Bullycan chapter on his definitive SpaceX website. Paul even spoke to them and the moulds may still exist!
Have you any Bullycan toys like Aviones Cosmicos or Portoaviones or indeed any Hawk or SpaceX copies whatsoever?
