(1973) Mattel VertiBird Air Police
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 лип 2024
- Mattel's VertiBird was a great launch to get kids into avionics or at least the feeling of control with flying a helicopter. Although your helicopter is anchored and will only fly in circles, it certainly was easy to play for hours until your expensive batteries were drained.

Wow! That’s amazing you found one of these! I pestered my brother a lot to let me play this.
😊 Thanks! It was a memory that I forgot until I happen to see an eBay listing of a similar one. Seems like there's always a new memory around the corner for me, haha. Thanks for checking it out and sharing your memory of it.
I had the yellow Veribird!
Nice! From checking the photos of others, I think that would have been the VertiBird Airborne Rescue? Here's one for sale: www.ebay.com/itm/285585329295
Sweet! I maybe too young to remember this but old enough to buy it today! thx
I'm glad you liked the video. Yes, the VertiBird in general is out there to be bought but just make sure it's in working condition or else you'll have to "crack" it open to troubleshoot 😁
I definitely had something like this in the first half of the 80s. Super cool for about a short period of time but ended up in the back of a closet or broken.
I can see that being the case too. After making the video, I played it a little more with my little guy and it was fun but crashing made me wonder how much longer this could really last plus the batteries drained pretty fast. Thanks for sharing your memories of it.
I wonder how many Siblings/Pets took Vertibirds to the face?
Oh yes, I could see that easily happening... ouch. That diameter of flight is pretty wide.
