WTF is for What's That Flying . . .

. . . thing? Is it a bird, is it a 'plane, no it's . . . what the FUCK !??!

I dunno! You tell me! Clearly it's some kind of windmill novelty? It's big, about five/six inches and nothing seems to happen when you manipulate the toggle/button thing which is exiting the feet?

The wings are dense craft-foam, held on with shaped-paper over-stickers, and the arms are hanging loose, so another pointer to its being broken, or having a jammed mechanism or missing launcher? It was 50p, so I'm not losing-sleep over it!

There's no clue to brand or maker on the model, just "TM & © DC Comics (s13)"

Now - someone out there must know more, but for now - WTF?

  1. A bizarre object but a nice sculpt of the 50's Superman.

  2. That's in part why I grabbed-it, it really does look like the comic original . . . or even Mr Reeves!

  3. Hey Hugh,

    Cannot recall the manufacturer but the idea is like the old rack toy pull string helicopters. The figure mounts on a hand held launcher, you pull the ripcord and the figure takes off then rotates back to Earth like a sycamore seed (almost!)there is by the way, a Batman figure as well.

    Spectrum.
