Blue Lightning

Bluebird Toys - 1987

Blue Lightning is an aircraft vehicle, designed to defend the Manta Force and explore Third Earth. This vehicle is under the command of Commander Bill Quest and his Manta Hawks.

MANTA Force was a line of toys produced by British toy company Bluebird in 1987. The toyline was initially divided into two main factions: the heroic MANTA Force and their opponents, the evil Viper Squad. Following the popularity of the MANTA Force toy range, an additional enemy was introduced in 1989; a group of robots known as the Karnoids, who were an enemy of both MANTA Force and the Viper Squad. The following year saw the release of the Stenchoids, which were another new threat for the humans.
