Cosmo Toys Swivel Car Set

This is an unusual toy. I may have blogged it but its still a scarce plaything. Its the Swivel Car by Cosmo Toys of Hong Kong seen on line via Facebook [which I'm not on].

I've not heard of Cosmo Toys but the toy is right up our alley. The vehicle and track recall the famed Lost in Space Switch N Go set to me. What do you think?

THE SKY PIRATE ROBO BIRD BY KEVIN

Hi,

Can't resist a robot bird. Here is my scratchbuild of the one from the Lost In Space episode, The Sky Pirate.

He sits on the shoulder of a Space pirate, just like Polyphase Avatron does!

Yo ho, ho

Lost in Space - Gemini 12 Miniature

Hi

          Here is another You Tube clip. This one is on the spaceship from Lost in Space, and is called the Gemini 12 rather than the Jupiter 2. Gemini 12 was apparently the name used in the original pilot for the series, with the revised Jupiter 2 being used in the actual series. 

Shots of the Gemini 12 were sometimes used in the series, as the two were very similar. There is a list of the craft used on the Lost in Space Wiki.

The You Tube film covers the miniature, which was four feet in diameter. It covers how the model was flown on wires, how it was filmed in a meteor shower (hung vertically, and the meteors dropped past the ship), and the colour of paint used - dull aluminium. 

The changes made to the Gemini 12 design to turn it into the larger Jupiter 2. Then the use of the miniature as a prop on Lost in Space, and its conversion into a futuristic building for the movie City Beneath the Sea. Finally, its sale and restoration. A great video.
