FOIL 1

Excuse the cheesy commentary, this Finnish foil boat, Pegasus, is amazing! 

You could go to work in it! 

Waddaya think?

Jet Boat Set

 

These Japanese jet boats look ace.

They really do have the best sci-fi toys in Japan! 

HYDRO POWER

 

I had a Hydroplane as a kid. Its a very attractive design and these miniatures do the job. Not a set I had but those lucky kids who got some would have been chuffed I'm sure.

Do you like Hydroplanes?

Jets Away!

 Further to Woodsy's flagging up the Pippin Hydro Jet toy, here are my models from the series. Originally marketed in Japan on a card backer, by Gakken, the jet toys were repackaged by Lipkin for Pippin toys. There are three versions, each came with a battery on the card in the japanese packing. I've not been brave enough to try them in water, but an internal propeller draws water in through the front vents and ejects it through the rear around the red lighted nozzle.

Check out the gorgeous illustrations on the japanese release!
