I FINALLY GOT IT! THE TYCO A-TEAM HELICOPTER, with original stickers!!!!!!! Unfortunately it is missing the rear blades. :(
So glad to have now added this unique piece of Tyco history to my collection. Please see the "RETRO TYCO" thread for more details on how I obtained this.

Got these for Christmas from my eldest daughter. The folks on the left side are definitely
19th century, and the right definitely European 1950's. Likely the European folks can be
moved in and out for props when I want to reflect something 1960's Britain, and use
the 19th century people for Britain turn of the century - 1927.
Great little vid, Walt. Major cool. Pleased you found THE helicopter, RP,
the Tyco collection continues to rise! That will be tough to find a replacement
tail rotor, but if I see one at a dollar store, or the like, I will be sure to
nab it for you. I suspect that cheap, injection molded copters, maybe from
the same mold, might still be out there, unless they were all banned for
choking hazard.
Been a long winter already, and my productivity has dropped to a bare
minimum, but as they day's slowly grow longer might be able to get
something done.
Got a pair of el cheapo lamps at the hardware store, and hopefully this
will improve my videos. Lighting has always been a bit of a challenge
to get right.
"Henley" under the cover
"Armodilloville" under wraps.

My AOTW is something my wife suggested I do with the pool. It's a scene from a movie.

Buss is correct. Bill Murray is about to eat a Baby Ruth he found in the pool.

LOL...yeah, definitely too big.
I'll continue to keep my eyes open for the real deal, Chops....maybe I'll even find a 2nd A-Team helicopter.
