This American Project SWORD Probe Force 2 box I saw on auction is fun. Besides the fabulous Sixties box art that Tarheel commissioned I like the fact that someone - in my mind the original young owner - has placed a Canadian sticker in the top right corner. A bit of it has ended up bottom left too!
I used to place stickers on things when I was a kid. Ugly stickers, Nutty initials and the like. Did you readers?
Man, I feel I really missed out here in the US, with so few of these amazing S.W.O.R.D. toys being around, or at least being readily available. I would have had a kiddy heart attack seeing a beauty like that in the stores!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't know exactly how much of this Tarheel SWORD stuff was around in the US Zigg but quite a lot I think in 67/68 judging by how often they've turned up on Ebay. Its a cool range to collect, Tarheel SWORD. There's even a Tarheel SWORD SPC! Talk about a mash-up!
