ED'S SWORD DAY TARHEEL GREEN NOVA ROCKET II

Woodsy and Fellow Moonbasers,

Here's my first entry for the blog's Project SWORD anniversary celebration. Over the years a few SWORD-related toys have managed to fly into Vegas Base, and I've captured pictures of them for the photo album.

This is one of three plastic Novas from Tarheel, all inspired by either Triang SpaceX or Thunderbirds and very close cousins of Project SWORD toys, which Tarheel also issued in North America.

    Omg, this is THE one and only Tarheel toy I had - and in that same neon green! I spray painted mine silver, and used it in a couple of my teenage Super 8mm epics. What a wonderful memory this is! SFZ

      Thanx Zigg! Has any of your films survived?

      Actually, I do have some of these 8mm films transferred to DVD. If I can figure out how to get them to Woodsy, I will! SFZ

    Such a superb big copy of the SpaceX Hawk. Congrats on having one Ed.

      Thanx Woodsy! It's always interesting to get similar toys that were made in vastly different sizes.
