Hello Woodsy,
In reply to your anniversary post on the Shadow Helicopter and asking if anyone had any Shadow toys, here's mine.
I had read Shadow novels back in the 60's and loved the DC Comic version that came out about 1973.
In 1994 THE SHADOW movie was released starring Alec Baldwin which was laughable but did have a range of toys.
I didn't collect any except this one and that's because I was still collecting model taxicabs and this one is a 'hoot'.
The model looks to be based on the 1937 Cord Roadster which is fabulous 30's design but were two door which has been turned into a four door taxi.
I have never purchased the 4" Shadow figure to go with the taxi so have used an appropriate ( I think) Minnie the Minx figure.
Regards,

Never saw that Shadow car... Interestingly based as much on the '60s spy craze as anything pulp related. Oh, and about the 1994 film - I think it's not as bad as all that. There are some great moments, a fine score by Jerry Goldsmith and by comparison the the Doc Savage film...
