THE WHITE WITCH PROTOTYPE

 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?

  1. 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.

    1. Scaff bar, what a great name. New one for me that Mish. The front end looks like an ice lolly mould or a ...... Shampoo bottle!

  2. And in an incestuous design sense, it reminds me of a Colonial Viper from Battlestar Galactica!

    1. I know what you mean Looey. I wonder if Bunny Carter the books illustrator designed the ship?

  3. Never seen any Droids action figures at car boot sales ever!

  4. Droids 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

  5. Scaff bar is just an abbreviation of scaffolding bar Woodsy.
