The Emergency Air Rescue set includes an early model Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopter, while the Rescue Squad with Fire House set includes a Bell Model 47. The Love Boat Barber Shop set is rather strange - I do not recall there even being a barber or barber shop in the series. The photo quality is rather poor, so I could be wrong, but does the Sgt. Fury set include a British Centurion tank ? Why ?
I suppose there must be a hairdresser on every long cruise Paul. Never been on one though! Oddly enough my Dad was the barber on his WWII ship, along with being the sparky.
Yes, I do like them. Many of these old rack toys had cool card art which fuelled the imagination, even if the toy itself was often cheap and cheerful. These comic linked examples are great, Woodsy. Definitely a lucky strike finding Ghost Rider and adding him to your collection. I've never seen one.
Cheers Tone. The opportunity came my way about 15 years ago to get Ghost Rider. I got him relatively economically and had him sort of as an attraction to my old toy stall.
