PRODUCT HISTORY

Premiered: 2005
Edition: Sold out / Discontinued / Will not be reissued

Another one of the classic GERRY ANDERSON shows that we produced High End Die Cast vehicles from was of course FIREBALL XL5.

We were delighted with this release of the classic ship which featured a magnetic detachable FIREBALL JUNIOR with tiny, detailed interior with Steve Zodiac and Robert the Robot figures at the controls. The Die Cast model was incredibly detailed and authentically weathered replicating the original studio model.

FIREBALL XL5 also came with a metal display stand and pull-out card space diorama to further enhance the display.

Our distributor in Japan at the time was the Penguin Corporation. We produced completely different packaging for this territory which featured photographic images of the actual vehicle rather than the original artwork used in all other territories.

An all-time classic collectible which is yet to be beat for is authenticity and accuracy.

With thanks to Mike Burrows for some fantastic environment photographs.
