CLIPPED WINGS

I was interested to see how the wings were fastened together on this NASA Probe Force 3 I saw on auction.

I have this particular toy at Moonbase but I haven't seen the stapled paper fastener before. I assume the simple clip is what a mint packaged example would have like this one.

Have you got one of these toy readers?

MY NEW FILM: Unboxing my Hover Probe Force 3

Here's my latest film about Project S.W.O.R.D toys readers.

This is the first of two toy unboxings.

This one is the Remote Controlled Probe Force no.3 by Hover, a bootleg version of the Century 21 Probe Force 3 from 1967.

It is 10 minutes long but I do hope you enjoy it. 

Grab a cold beer and sit back!

the New Year bird

This is one rare bird I would like this coming New Year, the cream Spacebird no.3 by YT of Japan, a gorgeous variation of the Project SWORD Probe Force 3.

Anyone got one?
