Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet
Review by JoshB
Wonder Woman's Invisible jet is an icon amongst super hero vehicles. We've recently seen the Batmobile on CDX so it was time the Invisible Jet got it's due.
The Invisible Jet (or Invisible Plane) made its first appearance back in 1942. It's gone through several revisions over the years, but it is this incarnation as it appeared in the 1973 Super Friends cartoon.
Since I bought this toy secondhand, I do not have any packaging to show.
The Invisible Jet is 1/60 scale which comes in at about 12 inches long, with a 14 inch wingspan. The toy is made out of Transparent Aluminum, which is a new material out of San Francisco, which is not only light and durable, but completely see-through. It really is the perfect choice for a toy of this nature.
Gimmicks include an opening cockpit, movable wing flaps, and retractable landing gear.
Unfortunately, no wonder woman figure is included.
The Invisible Jet rests on the Invisible stand.
Here you can see the Invisible Jet next to toys of the Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four, and the classic horror character, the Invisible Man.
It's next to impossible to find the Invisible Jet at retail (or anywhere else for that matter).
Clearly, no collection is complete without one.

The slop on the paint apps really kills this toy for me...
Hey! Something else for me to put on my trademark light up multicolor LED stands! Woo-ooo
You better let us check this out next time there's a summit at your house Josh.
I wish you had a photo of the jet next to something like a Glyos figure so I can better judge the scale. Hearing measurements is never as good as a simple size comparison.
Other than that, great review!
Josh...you've probably guessed that I'm on to you and I caught you early on but I gotta hand it you, this is one of the coolest reviews I've ever seen so far. ; )
Alas, if putting my kitties down today had been only a joke... ;_;
Hopefully next up is the Emperor's New Clothes expansion kit for Action Man.
...for the recolour variant.
I saw one of these at the flea market. Maybe.
The detail is amazing.
The Japanese version is better.
I agree, its way more invisible than this version.
Where do you put the whales?
Wait... "Star Trek IV", right? =)
Transparent Aluminum, Scotty gave up the formula :)
Yeah but how do you know Nichols didn't invent the thing?
I've always loved this plane, but it's had so few good toys. Up until now, Mattel's 1997 release was the best there was, and the proportions on that were a little off. It did have a spring-loaded gimmick, though.
As always, I can't find the missiles.
at Liberty at Akihabara, but my money already being used for other toys. Kind a regret it, though.
My only concern is how you check for hidden defects.
