Kenner SSP Sidewinder


In Brazil, Estrella reworked Kenner's SSP Sidewinder, a zip pull car toy, as a Comamdos em Acao vehicle called the Torpedo. They painted it olive drab, gave it new stickers, removed the molded driver, and recut the front driver section to fit a GI Joe figure...sort of. The figure just kind of squats against the plastic with nothing really holding it in place. Someone posted a pic of one recently to discuss the unnamed driver. As soon as I saw the Torpedo I knew I had to make one. It has a very early GI Joe look to it and sort of looks like it might have been a precurser to the LCV recon sled.
