EXCLUSIVE! TARHEEL AMERICAN PROJECT SWORD TOYS CATALOGUE

 As I've said before, very occasionally something amazing pops up in the world of Project SWORD.

Like the boxed Japanese Probe Force 3 and the Century 21 Task Forces boxed set I posted yesterday, here's another Project SWORD day exclusive.

The Tarheel Project SWORD toys dealers catalogue from the USA!

Spotted by the ever-diligent Arto at Helsinki Base this fabulous 4 page wonder was offered up by Seal Beach Books of California on Ebay.

Here's the cover, a beautiful and unique illustration of Project SWORD and Captain Scarlet toys in a futuristic setting.

The two middle pages showing both Captain Scarlet and Project SWORD toys and vehicles offered by Tarheel in America. It amazes me to think there are plastic Tarheel SPC's and SPV's in the States somewhere!

The rear cover showing the four more classic Tarheel SWORD vehicles.

Interestingly the three Re-Entry Task Force toy vehicles we know that Tarheel offered are not shown here.

The inclusion of both Project SWORD and Captain Scarlet toys is fascinating and we've seen two examples of Tarheel SWORD/ Scarlet mash-ups already, both pictured in this catalogue, albeit without SWORD labelling: -

The Project SWORD Spectrum Patrol Car at the Hamilton Toy Collection, Callander

and the Project SWORD Dart Gun Set found by Rob Godwin in Michigan

Its just a matter of time before the Captain Scarlet Gun and Holster Set and the SPV are found in the States with Project SWORD labelling. Keep your eyes peeled folks!

Finally, despite a valiant effort and a very high bid by a blog reader to secure the Tarheel catalogue for the wider Moonbase community, it was bought by an unknown buyer who clearly wanted it a great deal.

Here are all the auction pictures from Seal Beach Books.
