Extra Spicy

 A couple of shots of one of the best Dune movie toys, the Spice Scout by LJN. Its scaled for the action figures, which were 6" high and is seen briefly in the David Lynch movie, just before the Sandworm swallows the Spice Harvester.

The massive back wheel reminds me of classic Apollo Moon Exploring toys and the Prospector.
The designs in the Lynch film were very distinctive and some of which were made as toys, including a trio of Sand Scouts and a large salami-like Harkonnen Ornithopter. There were a range of figures and a couple of guns too.

I haven't seen any toys for the new film, but the designs are equally distinctive and impressive.

    A very nice design, much better than the movie it came from, I'm afraid!
