Hi Woodsy
A month or so back on the MC blog you featured the Apollo Lunar Lander by Epoch and attached are images of their Thunderbird 2 version which sold for £52 plus a few pence recently on Buyee (as we don’t have access to Yahoo Auctions these days). No I did not make a bid for it though it was tempting.
I have never seen it but the Japanese Manga Comic has an advert page for a few Captain Scarlet items and a small image of the Spectrum Helicopter version of this toy is depicted.
Don’t know about you but as a young boy at Christmas I always along with the main present and Christmas Stocking stuffed with sweets used to get underwear and handkerchiefs. Can’t say I would have considered them presents at that time as they are not very playable.
Anyway this Christmas I have managed to procure a handkerchief that I am pleased to have and attach a picture!

That is a great handkerchief. Very interesting colour scheme. I doubt many of those survive.
ReplyDeleteFantastic Japanese items Terry. The Epoch TB2 is a real thing of beauty and the Joe 90 hanky is just sublime. I guess you'll never use it!
ReplyDeletethe hanky is not to be sniffed at! The TB2 just shows what still turns up in the far east, its a shame that Europe is excluded from bidding on a lot of jspanese auction sites
ReplyDeleteFantastic! That Joe 90 hanky, with that superbly primitive illustration, is by far the coolest bit of J9 memorabilia I've ever encountered! SFZ
ReplyDeleteIt looks so cool I agree SF. I once found a 1966 Batman hanky in a charity shop.
