They do look good in red, Zigg, although I have got a version of TF2 in white, and I've no doubt we'll see a few more colour variations of the TF ships, from other people's collections over the next couple of days.
The TF 1 was the only Sword toy I ever had. It was bought for me by my dad, on a camping holiday to Coniston, in the Lake District, probably in 1969. I wasn't aware it was part if a set of other Project Sword toys, as I don't remember seeing them at all, in my local toy shops at the time.
I knew about Project Sword through ads in TV21, but I didn't see many about at the time. I first got the annual at a sea side gift shop. My first Sword toy was a Scout Force 3, one of the three 'new wave' Sword toys which was in my local newsagents. I managed to pick up the other two from local newsagents over time. I did find a Dyna-Soar in a cycle shop that doubled as a toy shop, but that was it for new purchases. I picked up a working Moon Ranger and a Probe Force ship from a jumble sale some time later.
Good Lord, there I've done it again, I've drooled all over the keyboard! Geez, thanx Scoop! hahahahahaha Beautiful photos and an inspiration for me to try a photo set-up!
What a fine TF fleet Scoop, thanks for posting. The TF2 with box was surprisingly hard to find, and is one of the last additions to my collection.
ReplyDeleteCheers Arto. I wasn't aware that the TF2 box was hard to come by. All the TF boxes are quite fragile, so I shouldn't be surprised.
DeleteThese are glorious! Spaceships deserve to be in flaming red! SFZ
