Four jigsaws puzzles were available in the
UK, made by Waddington. Apparently the same jigsaws were available in New
Zealand from Holdson (who were also behind the NZ releases of Waddington's
Captain Scarlet And The Mysterons jigsaw puzzles).
The most common Joe 90 jigsaw puzzles
were obviously aimed at the younger market with just 81 large pieces, although
250 piece versions were also available.

In Japan, Koide Shinkosha followed on from
their Stingray, Thunderbirds and Captain Scarlet And The
Mysterons puzzles with a rather nice Joe 90 one.

Colour artwork featuring Joe brandishing
his gun and communicator in front of the cottage. Sam stands by his car as
Mac's car flies overhead.
The 33 pieces are not fully interlocking
like a "standard" jigsaw puzzle but instead fit into a tray, the surround of
which forms the border to the puzzle. The pieces are rather large and very
thick - the tray itself is ¼" thick! And there are a couple of pieces shaped
like a car and Joe's special glasses.
Size 14¾" x 9¾" (37.5 x 24.8 cm), price
¥150. |
