COMBAT CAR AND PALS

 

This old auction bundle was so darn good I saved the pic. There's something for everyone!

Of interest too is the Combat Car box and toy, a nice space vehicle, to the left.

Have you got that or anything on here readers?

AN ECHO OF COMBAT

This Combat Car on Ebay this year looked great. 

Unusually it had a box too so I kept the picture.

The toy itself looks incomplete, missing its tailfin and missiles. 

I love the Century 21-style Zero-X blue plastic.

 The toy reminded me of my own Echo Car toy.

Have you got anything like these toys readers?

THE ECHO ECHO ECHO CARS

Woodsy,

I was excited by Paul Adams' recent post of the amazing Mechanical Fish toy, the coolest weird toy I'd never seen before, but also because of one of the other toys depicted on the side of the box.

This is probably old news to Swordies, but that Space Combat Car toy was a design recycled in a few other products, two of which I am familiar with.

Firstly, there was a wonderful Midori plastic model kit called Planetoid Echo 7, a model I built and enjoyed several times over the years. Next, there was a Hong Kong toy called Echo Car, also a crude kit, which seems to be a scaled down version of the Midori Echo 7.

Anyways, I gathered up all the pix I could find of these two groovy toys and submit them for possible blog inclusion.

ECHO CAR ECHO

1969 was a good year in Japan. For 50 Yen one of these bad boys could be yours! I found a small boxed version of the Echo Car years ago and were one of the first toys in my space collection. Have you got any of these readers?
