With the previous super sonic tin toy in mind, I've often wondered if Jack Rosenthal and co ever considered releasing the Thunderbird's Fireflash as a plastic friction toy under the Century 21 or JR21 toys banner?
I certainly don't know of any such toy and moreover I can't think of any old Fireflash toy other than plastic kits. Is that right?
There is a modern wooden model of the plane, which is quite nice I imagine. I saw it on Ebay.
As soon as I saw this it reminded me of my Super Rocket Plane by AHI, itself an American Hong Kong copy of the Century 21 Toys Moonship. What do you think? Similar to the above body?
There is also the small Konami Fireflash, which comes with tiny elevator cars!
ReplyDeleteHave you got one Kev?
ReplyDeleteI have, I've got nearly all the Konami vehicles, except for the diorama ones and the Shado heavy transporter. They are brilliant.
