Blue Thunder Prototypes

[RSS]

While I remember the Multi Toys Blue Thunder Helicopter from the Toys R Us clearance center, I didn't lnow how far they planned to take the series. This page from their 1984 catalog shows (kind of crude) prototypes for Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus, James Farentino and even Dana Carvey.




There was even plans for non helicopter toys! More on Multi Toys later on this Spring.

Man, I had forgotten Dana Carvey was on that show! A friend had the Blue Thunder copter with pilot, and we just integrated it into our G.I. Joe: RAH play.

We really need more Bubba Smith action figures.

^There's a Hightower figure in the animated Police Academy line. That's close.

Did they explain JAFO on the show?

Just Another Frustrated Observer, according to the pilot ep. I'd seen the movie and went "***?" when he said that in the premiere.

"An exact replica of the ABC TV helicopter down to the minutest detail."

Erm... Blue Thunder looks awfully green.

That Jeep looks a lot like my Grandpa's S-10

Wow! Thanks for posting those!

I have the helicopter that I bought back in the day, but I had no idea the additional figures, Rolling Thunder and the jeep had been planned.
