Years ago I found this book at a boot sale, The White Witch, a Droid Adventure.
The White Witch is the ship.
Only this year did I discover that the White Witch was prototyped as a toy by Kenner!
Here's a closer shot I saw online of Kim Simmons, the famous professional photographer from Kenner.
Its a gorgeous thing! and so rare!
Anyone ever seen it?
It looks good, but I'd be worried about bashing my brains out on that scaff bar canopy every time I pulled up or turned suddenly.
ReplyDeleteScaff bar, what a great name. New one for me that Mish. The front end looks like an ice lolly mould or a ...... Shampoo bottle!
DeleteAnd in an incestuous design sense, it reminds me of a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean Looey. I wonder if Bunny Carter the books illustrator designed the ship?
DeleteNever seen any Droids action figures at car boot sales ever!
ReplyDeleteDroids never really made it to Europe, so I don't think you'll find many toys! It is a lovely ship, but I agree with Mish, that loopy roll cage is a bit daft - unless its intended purely for droids, its not going to be leaving the atmosphere anytime soon! Bill
ReplyDeleteScaff bar is just an abbreviation of scaffolding bar Woodsy.
