There really is a Gerry Anderson vibe to these two, what with T21 as in TV21 and the general MSV'ness of the white one, not to mention Bills SWORD on/off switch. Century 21 Toys would eventually release their 'own' flip-iver car, The Action Traveller in a gorgeous box. I say 'owned" because many online examples appear to be a repacked toy by AA. Comparison with the box art is the way to check you have the right toy. Always worth checking!
Those are really nice, especially side by side.
ReplyDeleteThey're a lot of fun too!
DeleteGreat vehicles, but their guard rails/connecting bars seem slanted.
ReplyDeleteWas that part of the design, or have they got bent, over time ?
Designed that way Mish. They were marketed as 'flip-over' cars and the angled wires were meant to right them in that instance.
DeleteThe legend! One of the most recognizable designs of the space age - I love 'em! SFZ
ReplyDeleteThey are nice but they can be pricey in working condition. Many of them, like my yellow-wheeled Space Explorer 1, are missing the tires.
DeleteIts nice to see the conical 'light' from the back of the SWORD Space Glider on the back of the white one. Bill
ReplyDeleteWow! Didn't see that! Good spot Bill!
