THE RIPSAW: A GIANT TOY IN REAL LIFE?

Well, this Ripsaw seems to be a mixture of some fine old toys and then brought to life!

Maybe Big Trak?

a bit of the Project SWORD Moon Ranger?

and the Jetson's moon ranger?

See what you think. 

Do you like the Ripsaw?

    The Ripsaw is OK, but I love The Jetsons Moon Ranger. George Jetson is driving (right hand drive suggests a Japanese toy ?). I think he is accompanied by his son Elroy, but it is hard to see the passenger.

    1. It is a cool toy Paul. Not much footage of it all on the net. I found this picture years ago.

    There's an R/C model of the Ripsaw, it comes with its own controller and for around £60 it's ripe for customizing, it's 1/12 scale so a 6" figure should fit, anyone up for the challenge?

    1. Thanks for that MJ! I'm amazed there's an RC toy!

    These gizmos have "Bond Vehicle" written all over them!
    However, I did think the early shots of the Ripsaw was just a toy, because there was no scale on that frozen lake!

      An excellent replacement for a topper toys tank for all the custom made models of Anderson design,
