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?
A bizarre object but a nice sculpt of the 50's Superman.
ReplyDeleteThat's in part why I grabbed-it, it really does look like the comic original . . . or even Mr Reeves!

Hey Hugh,
ReplyDeleteCannot 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.
Cheers Spectrum! I'm giving you 11 imaginary points out of 10, but not until later in the week! Don't tell Brian!
