STRUCK BY JOHNNY LIGHTNING

I really am.

I never had any as a kid and only really discovered how cool they are this month!

Like classic Hot Wheels redlines, the greatest Johnnies from Topper are from the late Sixties/ early Seventies and perhaps THE greatest Lightning design is the Stiletto.

What do you think?


I am sorely tempted to start collecting Johnny Lightnings but heavy weather is brewing in my piggy bank. 

Have you got any?

    I do not have any of the original Topper Toys models, which I do not ever recall seeing in NZ at the time, although they may have been around. I do have a few of the modern Johnny Lightning models, mostly their film and TV models, and a few others such as the Coroner's Car.

    1. I've enjoyed your pieces about modern Johnny Lightning and the Corners Car was a special one Paul.
