1970s Shadow “Crime Fighter” toys, ctd.

Finally added this piece to my collection of the delightfully strange and anachronistic 1970s Madison SHADOW toys – because every 1930s crime fighter needs a programmed 'computerized' 1970s supercar (the box was split and opened long ago; just glad to have it):

Think I've only a few pieces left to go – a large copter, jet, and costume, IIRC – but here's a shot of this mini-collection inside The Collection as it stands now:

(Who knows what evil revs in the hearts of men?)

Cemented while staring into space and stuck on the current thing: that the only two Shadow toy lines (Madison's oddities in the mid-70's and Kenner's '94 movie line) ever made both feature weird vehicles lends my collection an interesting - if perplexing - cohesion (which is the best kind of cohesion, IMHO):

At least the Kenner ones are moderately less anachronistic (and "side-swiping swords" are a now requirement for my next car)…
