MANTA FORCE AND THE MOON BUGGY

I've been enjoying reading this French blog about old toys, Toys Against the Machine, especially the Manta Force section:

https://toysagainstthemachine.wordpress.com/jouets-oublies/manta-force/m-a-n-t-a-force/

I'm much too old to have enjoyed the range first time round but I've had the pleasure of picking up a few bits over the years. I still have two large boxed vehicles in the attic!

I'm impressed with the Starblaster rocket on the blog. It has a look of Fireball XL5 would you say? Well designed too.

There's also a small blue land crawler that reminds me of the SpaceX Moon Buggy, the Turbo Drill. What do you think? Could it be remodelled into a form of Buggy?

  1. Ive got a few Manta models, Stingray, Porcupine and a couple of Stinkhorns. The build quality is a bit flimsy in places, not as good as Bluebird Zero Hour, but they arent bad.
