Vintage Fireball XL5

[Hepcat]

Was Fireball marketed in the US or UK?

The Fireball XL5 TV show was a British production that began airing in October 1962 but it was also shown on the NBC network in the States.

Multiple Products Corporation, Standard Plastics Products and King-Seeley were American companies so the items pictured above were definitely available in the States. I'm not sure though how extensive their distribution network was overseas. In fact, I can't even positively say that all of their products were widely distributed in Canada although most of the toys and collectibles we talk about on this board were indeed available in Canada. But many I just don't remember.
