Ten years ago I posted this picture of a Vectis auction bundle from 2012.
At the far right is this Thunder Ball, the box photo side I enlarged a little.
To this day neither the toy itself or the origin of the space helmeted boy have been identified or explained.
Can you break the mystery of the Thunder Ball?!
The picture of the boy
ReplyDeleteIn the helmet is from
The movie D.A.R.Y.L
1985
Hey, superb, thanks Anon!
DeleteI would guess
ReplyDeleteThe movie being
About a robot boy
The toy was some sort
Of rubik cube type of thingy
Or electronic gadget.
If you can stand to watch
The movie there might
Be a clue...i rest my case lol.
Good thinking Anon, I bet you're right.
DeleteDarryl has some good footage of the SR71 Blackbird, but aside from that.. Judging by the box, it’s probably some cheap chinese tat with the boys image tacked on without any actual relevance to the toy. I’d be more curious about the ‘Monster Women’ toy at the back of the box! Bill
ReplyDeleteSR71 eh! Fabulous, the Blackbird. I once bought some loose Monster Women.
DeleteThose are by archie mcphee

ReplyDeleteOf the monster women.
They did quite a lot of
Retro rack type toys

Octopus and frogmen
Playset which i managed
To get from the states a few
Years back.
