Dear All
Recently came by this and wondered if someone could give me some information. I believe it is from the 1980s and is in wonderful condition and looks to have been played with very little. But if possible, would firstly anyone know a more exact date? And secondly, do you know the name of the maker? I can't quite work it out.
Thanks, as always.
Same here. In reality I don't usually like toys but this is just such a cool thing. I was thinking of selling it to someone who would appreciate it more but it may stay with me next to my diecast A Team helicopter!
They were sold under the Durham Industries label in the US. 1970's.
Sorry - here's the link. See - it's the same housing.

Thank you for the info. I have found another one but it's the only one I can find anywhere. I think the price is a little speculative!

Yeah-I'd say so on the price! GIJoe Collectors are crazy - but I don't think THAT crazy!
BUT - it does say Milton Bradley International on the box! Here's the original listing with more pics.

Who or what is Milton Bradley International?
MB Games, just looked it up. Bought over by Hasbro. I guess the date of this may remain elusive. Some say 70s some say 80s.
