The Shark Jetter

Saw this Shark Jetter on auction a while back. 

What a fantastic design and I love the window box, which has a Bandai look to it.

Looks like it can go on water too! 

Not sure of the make. Have you anything like it?

Do you like it?

    AI Overview confidently states...
    " The image shows a vintage toy called Takemi Aston Mighty Car Astrorobot, a Japanese toy from the 1970s. It is a plastic model kit of a spaceship and is considered a rare and collectible toy. The toy features a white body with red boosters and a blue tail fin. It also has a small logo with a "1" inside a circle on the wings. The toy is often found in its original packaging, which can be quite old and may show signs of wear. "

    Apart from being factually incorrect, I doesn't tell me anything I couldn't work out myself by looking at the photo.
    I've been doing my own research and came across this Tomy toy: interesting but no cigar..

  2. It is a bit like a shuttle stack…

  3. Ive got the other one shown on the box. Gakken also made a set of three similar toys, all of which use an interior impeller to draw water in and shoot it out the back. Lovely toys. Bill
