hendie Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 AMT are releasing two versions of the old 1/25 Piranha Super Spy Car as seen in the Man from Uncle many years ago. - one in January and one in April this year. This is great news as the original kit is hard to find and goes for upwards of $150 on ebay, and I've been wanting one for ages to sit beside my DB5 Super Spy Car January Edition http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/piranha-spy-car-origin April Edition http://www.round2models.com/models/amt/piranha-spy-car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Used to watch it religiously. I don't remember this one. I do remember my Corgi Man From Uncle car though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnie the panda Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yep I'm all over that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatboydim Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Used to watch it religiously. I don't remember this one. I do remember my Corgi Man From Uncle car though. Same here. I can only remember my corgi one. When you pushed the button on the top, the man leaned out the side and made a clicking noise to represent a gun shot if I remember correctly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roymattblack Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 The corgi model car mentioned above was never in the TV show, but the AMT car - as per this kit - WAS. It was developed at considerable expense deliberately to go up against the TV Batmobile - but it didn't quite make it... I had the die cast version - Corgi Husky I think - when I was a young 'un. Wish I had it now... http://www.toymart.com/Husky-1205-Man-From-UNCLE-Car/11089 Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bzn20 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) I remember the Oldsmobile Super 88,not a clue about this one though. Here is the lowdown on the car itself. http://www.c-we.com/piranha/UNCLEcar.htm Reminds me of an Alfa Romeo/Bertone design Edited February 22, 2015 by bzn20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hendie Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Here's a sneak peak at the kit... http://culttvman.com/main/sneak-peak-piranha-super-spy-car/ It's on sale now for around $25 which isn't bad at all considering that around 6 months ago I almost paid $150 for one on ebay The version coming out in April seems to be around $19 or so and for an additional $28 you can spruce it up..... http://www.paragrafix.biz/product_detail.asp?PPartNum=pgx192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
