2/17/20 52/100 Missile Launcher

One of the two castings that was introduced in 1998 as the Sound Speeders series and end up as a regular line vehicle minus the sound and lights in 1999 was the Missile Launcher, and unlike the other vehicle, the UFO, this tank returns for one more round in 2000.  Colored in tan this tank is really heavy with a metal body, plastic base, and plastic missile launcher that opens up from the back, yet it feels like it’s all made of metal!  As a nice touch it has a shield to protect the windshield, detailed headlights, missiles for loading in the back, and black residue where the missiles would be fired.  Other than that this tank is more for display as it lacks any function of any kind and is rather large enough for a 1:64 scale collection.
