MPC Mobile Missile Vehicle with Multi-Rocket Launcher - Olive Green

What do you get when you have the Multi-Rocket launcher mated to the Mobile Missile Vehicle chassis? One bad-ass toy! :-) This rig is ready to r-u-u-u-u-m-b-l-e. I took these photos last August before taking stock of all my MPC gear. I could actually have placed four yellow rockets in the standby tubes but what the hey, it is what it is. Let's pretend one of the rockets was already launched! The springs in the upper launch tubes will hurl these a pretty good distance, unfortunately they tend to miss-fire. The force of the spring combined with the slippery plastic, and just moving the toy around will cause the rocket to slowly rotate within the tube and fire - as I found out the hard way when I got boinked in the noggin' while taking photos! hahahaha. If I want to, I can mount any of the rocket launchers or any of the missile towers on any of the different colored Mobile Missile Vehicles I have and just have a field day taking photos. And therein lies the problem. I could actually be there all day just taking pics of the different color combinations: naw - ain't gonna do it! Sooo, let's call it a day with this series of photos and we'll move on to another toy in the next couple of days. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

MPC Mobile Missile Vehicle with Orbital Missile Gantry and Tower - Dark Green

Here's the second variation of green Mobile Missile Vehicle's with Orbital Missile Gantry and Tower (what a mouthful!). This one is in dark green vs. the light olive green already posted. In some of the photos it looks lighter in hue than it actually is but that's because, while editing the photo, I was attempting to bring out the details in the tracks thereby making the chassis look lighter than it is in real life. In any case I'm okay with the pics. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

MPC Mobile Missile Vehicle with Orbital Missile Gantry & Tower - Olive Green

Well, as promised there's more to the MPC story. MPC took the Mobile Missile Vehicle chassis and added other components to it in a modular fashion. This version you see it paired with the Orbital Missile Gantry and Tower that we've already blogged here on Toys and Stuff. We'll have more to show you but there may be delays as seasonal colds and flu's are hitting the household. For now though - Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

MPC Mobile Missile Vehicle - Red SP

Here's the last of the three color variations I have of this unique looking tracked vehicle from MPC. This vehicle was used as a chassis for other MPC accessories as we'll see in upcoming posts BUT FIRST I'm gonna take a short break from MPC stuff to do a Train Time post after which I'll start in with the other variants. Until then - Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina

MPC Mobile Missile Vehicle - Dark Green SP

Here's the second of three of these Mobile Missile Vehicles that I have, this one in a dark green. I was looking at this thing the other day and thinking that, if this were an actual vehicle, that platform on the rear most likely would have retracted underneath the chassis and those two awkward looking triangular-like legs would no doubt be hydraulically activated outriggers because driving around with that thing deployed would have been a real challenge.
