Re: C3's ALF TDA SF#4

I restored one of those Corgi ALF's with parts from someone in England. This was about 8 years ago. He supplied the firemen and the ground ladders which were diecast metal - actually looked good. I'll have to apologize to Code3 for comparing their new ALF's to the Corgi in one of the posts.
December in Michigan ! Near zero, 30 mph winds & 8" of snow !!!

Re: C3's ALF TDA SF#4

The old Corgi toy is a far more faithful reproduction of the classic ALF lines than the current Code 3 "model."

I still have my first generation Corgi ALF TDA, which I got for Christmas back in 1968. The Corgi in unmistakably an ALF, jewelled headlights (which I love), big brass knobs, and all.

The Code 3 is just a disappointment. If you take away the little details and hefty price tag, it compares favorably with the Tootsietoy version of the ALF midmount.
