Hi Woodsy
I think you may have covered this already, but just to make sure?
From Ebay this year, the UFO SHADO 2 Mobile knockoff, the Emergency Squad - 2 types.
Cheers

What do you think readers?
Space Shuttle Emergency Squad [minus small pod vehicle]
Rescue H58F with pod vehicle
Oh wow!! That's fantastic! What are the dimensions? And how does it compare to other shado 2's?- Mark J
ReplyDeleteI reckon its about the same size as the SHADO2 MJ. Maybe a bit bigger and made of plastic. I bought one circa 1990 and gave it away as a gift.
DeleteHi Guys,
DeleteI saw your articles and pictures of the Rescue Squad SHADO MOBILE knock offs, a couple of years ago and i actually bought one brand new in its packaging yesterday (19/05/2019) at a huge toy fair in Doncaster.
I saw it on a dealers table in amongst die-cast vehicles etc... and recognised it straight away, expecting it to be stupid money i asked the dealer how much ? he said with a smile "you know what it is don't you ? !" - i said "i sure do, so how much ?"
he said "a Tenner to you" - Job done !!
It is the Dark Blue/Light Blue version with H-24A STATION 2 & SUPPORTER STICKERS on the body, complete with the pod vehicle.
Dimensions of the Toy are L - 17.5 CM, W - 8.5 CM, H - 9 CM
The packaging has a small sticker stapled to the card base, it says " Herbert Kees
(europe) ltd, Northampton NN3 1RX " - i guess this was the toys distributor / importer to the UK ?? - there is no date on the packaging at all.
The manufacturers trademark logo of a Shark is on the base, with a small gold sticker saying "Made in China". No manufacturers name at all.
Despite it being a knock off, the quality of the toy is first rate, well moulded and put together, not the sort of thing you would expect !
I never thought i would ever come across one, but it just goes to show stuff can turn up when you don't expect it !!!!
Hope this info helps out and is of interest !
