COLD STEEL: DIE-CAST PROJECT SWORD

 I've wanted to do this for ages.

To bring together the only two die-cast Project SWORD toys.

They are the Aoshima Zero-X and the Imai Scramble Bug. 

Luckily I've got both so lets introduce them.


The Aoshima Zero-X is well packaged in a polystyrene inner box


Inside a plastic cover, the Imai Scramble Bug comes in a nice card inner display


Under the card base is a colour leaflet


The rear of the box display has a colour diagram of the vehicle.


The leaflet showcases five of Imai's miniatures.


So, lets get them together.


My Zero-X lacks the MEV [it was donated to MC] but does have the silver nose cover.


With similar blue bodies I think they look great as a pair


The Zero-X comes with a small plastic stand


Even the Scramble Bug gets a lift!


I did find opening the landing gear on the undercarraige quite fiddley but all in all the OX is a beautiful die-cast toy.


I do wish I had the MEV but in the meantime my Bug carries the silver nose-cone quite well.


I also discovered that the Bug has a push-down dome, which raises the bonnet! I didn't know that!


One final shot as the OX takes off on a secret mission.


Have you got either of these die-casts readers?

Some Tri-ang SpaceX toys, which are miniatures of Project SWORD vehicles, also have some die-cast parts.
