This was a revelation at the time, a wholly new space toy for MC seen on Facebook, the domed Space car.
It looks like Christmas morning 1967!
If you have FB then re-live it again!

I do love a good knockoff and a mega hit like Masters of the Universe spawned many a tacky He-Man. Here's a few I've seen this year.
Do you have any?
I bet kids loved them at Christmas!

Visiting the Grandkids yesterday I caught ten minutes of the Grandson's new festive flick That Christmas.
It appeared to be an animated tale about families with a boy at the centre of it all. It seemed like a cartoon version of a soap or a schmlalzy film from the 90's. I thought of About a Boy with Hugh Grant.
The son-in-law informed me it was a Richard Curtis film, he of Love Actually. So its Love Actually done as a cartoon for kids?
The Grandson loved it!
Not my cup of tea at all [sorry if you're a fan] and I really hope the Grandson chooses Jason and Argonauts or the new Wallace and Gromet for us to watch together over the holidays!
Have you seen That Christmas?
This model maker, not one I knew of, has done some amazing stuff!
This Fireball Xl5 he made from scratch in the 1980's in other people's workshops!

His Thunderbirds Elevator Cars are incredible.

After seeing these I may just quit making stuff!
I love this 'launch' sequence of the Green Hornet's Black Beauty from 1966. What a car!
Do you have one?
I love this short video from Scalextric. Makes me want to get their FAB1.
Almost!
Do you like it?
They just need a Zero-X flying overhead now.
