I saw this golden Billy Blastoff on auction last year and kept the images. It could be part of the South American version, Capitan Boy.
Its a new one on me and I cant decide if the body has simply been painted white to gold by a previous owner. Maybe not/
I like this golden Billy. It sort of fits with the whole Golden Astronaut vibe too.
Looking at it again I'm wondering if its the really tiny version of Billy from South America called Mini Capitan Boy.
Hmmm, this toy appears to be covered in gold paint as opposed to being moulded in gold plastic. Interesting that the visor is transparent Aqua, as opposed to pale blue.
ReplyDeleteGiven the original Billy's had blue and yellow details stencilled on to a white body and there are none here, I think it's a DIY version!
Yes, I'm leaning towards a home paint job too Looey!
DeleteHoly cow, you guys never cease to amaze. I remember Billy Blastoff! I remember the little TV and the sled car! But that's all I remember, can't recollect if I owned it or was playing at a friend's house. Anyway, thanks for the nostalgia blast(off)!
ReplyDeleteha ha, Baron, you're welcome. Im a huge Billy Blastoff fan and adored it as a kid, a sort of little brother for Major Matt Mason! The sled, the TV, the ray gun and the crawler were the best bits!
