This recently popped up on our forum: What is it? Race car? Airplane? Something from space?

Leave it to our forum for adding details to Toyman!’s find, but maybe the answer involves a little of all three?

Check out the thread for the entire discussion, but here are some hints: Death Ship, Tobokka and Princes Scher Leis.

That was one of the early Nissan Delta LeMans experimental garage 56 bodies (I am totally kidding, I have no idea what that is).

I'm pretty sure that was flown by Andre 3000.
Or something.

A little-known case of automotive espionage: This was the prototype for Speed Racer's Mach 6 (now with improved room for chainsaws rather than simply buzz-saws), which was stolen from his lab by his nemesis, Racer X. Sadly, Chim-Chim was injured in the burglary but is expected to make a full recovery.

Always hard to spot an X-Wing fighter when the wings come off....  And R2D2 falls out the back....

Does have some strong similarities to Bob Perry's Galaxy II wheelstander.

Photoshop.  You can tell by the difference in compression artefacts and the way the shadows don't look right.

It was one of the two cars from the Gerry Anderson TV series UFO from the 70s. Probably the purple one. Somebody bought it from ITC and tried to make a jet powered dragster out of it.

Built for a live action Sneeches movie; meant to have a ski on the front and tracks on the rear...
