BATTERY OPERATED JOE'S CAR CENTURY 21 TOYS
A few old photos I took way back in 2014 of my C21 battery operated Joe 90 Car. The toy is pretty much exactly the same as the friction drive version, apart from a remote control forward and reverse action, and illuminated head lamps. It's another of those hugely sought after Anderson toys, but to my mind it's not particularly accurate, and generally a bit cheap looking, especially when it comes to the wheel struts and the wheels, themselves.Saying that it can look appealing at certain angles. The Sugar Smacks mailaway version is considered a fairly accurate representation, but you'd still expect Century 21 Toys to come up with the proper goods. It has spring out wings, and slide back fins, even the squat Joe 90 is wearing his glasses. Still, In spite of that, I'm glad to have it part of my collection.
Would benefit from a respray in metallic paints methinks...
ReplyDeleteHa,ha! Mike, if you've got one you do that on yours.;D
DeleteYes, leave this beauty untouched, a perfect toy!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Ziggurat, although I'm sure Mike had had his tongue firmly in his cheek with his comment.;)
