This is a strange one. This blue saucer appears to be part of the well-known Blue Box space vehicles series.
I saw this online ages and ages ago and thought. hmmm, I don't know this one. I saved the image.
My photo label says Winex, so I assume that's the maker but I can't find anything else or even this image. Has anyone got the toy?
Not only does this toy have all the things we associate with the Blue Box line - box art and arrowhead decals - it also recalls something we've blogged about before, the Blakes 7 connection.
Could this blue flying saucer be inspired by these Gauda Prime spaceships from Blakes 7 we've featured before? Look at the box art too.
What do you think?
Interesting. That Blakes 7 episode was broadcast in 1981, does that influence things?
ReplyDeletegood point Kev. maybe like the other toys it already existed. I've also thought that Jotastar would have used this design as part of their range of Blue Box Blakes 7 toys so why didn't they?
