SPANISH BILLY


This is the small jack-plug TV from the Spanish Nacoral version of Billy Blastoff.

Is that the same image on the TV screen as the Eldon original?

  1. it looks like a direct repackage of the toy, the radar from the robot is exactly the same, so its probable that they re-used the same decals

    1. So like Scalecraft did in the UK. Just distributing Eldon's toy maybe.

  2. Just to show how iconic the TV was back then, to be replicated in toy form so often. I loved toy TV sets!

    1. Yep, there's nothing quite like a toy TV Zigg. I had some push-button ones that had little pictures inside that moved round in a circle. Souvenirs I suppose. They were great.

  3. There was at least one Toy TV which had a rolling paper scroll inside, and you could rotate the knob and get different scenes to make a whole story. So cool before the advent of 8mm movies, VHS, etc.
