Considering it was just a cheap toy, it looks pretty good. A mate of mine does have the remains of one he bought at the time. The handle battery cover is long gone on his, as is most of the paint.
I still have one ( non functional…probably the light bulb, now that I think about it ) from my childhood with the backing card.. I touched the side buttons up with paint as a kid, since they tended to rub off with play. Looking at it nowadays, it was definitely a toddler scale replica, but I had a lot of fun with it as a boy.
Nice that and not bad for accuracy. I had the more angular toy by a different company. Even worse, mine was the white version!

DeleteYes, those are some wild graphics! SFZ
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Zigg, but it sells it for me. Imagine catching sight of it hanging up in some dime store, or a seaside shop in the seventies.
