One of the Superfast cars I picked up at the Diakonie was the cool space-age Cosmobile.
It required a full colour uplift using a blue sharpie and silver and yellow paint pens.
What do you reckon?
Was the Cosmobile part of a wider space theme from Matchbox?
Nice job! The Cosmobile and Planet Scout - which you got in the same lot, were two apparently random space themed models. It may have been a theme which was going to feauture more models, but it stopped after two. The two toys were later incorporated into the Adventure 2000 line, but as those models were King Size and the figures OO/HO, they looked a bit out of place. The Planet Scout you have is the AD 2000 version. Spanish toy maker Gorgo als make a larger metal version of the Planet Scout, which I assume post dates the Matchbox version.
ReplyDeleteTa Wote. You know your stuff. It's a great range. My Planet Scout is in really good nick. The purple windows give it a sort of boy racer vibe! Looking forward to polishing it up and taking a few snaps too. You have them all don't you? Gorgo too?
DeleteJust these two - I had the AD2000 Killdozer vehicle for a while, but flogged it. Still haven't found a Gorgo to either!
