Hi did anyone see this on eBay and is it official


I received this from Chrysalis Records in 1988 to promote the release of "All Systems Go"

This is a battery operated (9 volt not included) sound effects/stress reliever toy. "Vinnie Vincent Invasion" sticker on front and "All Systems Go" on top. When pressed, the joystick button makes a Machine Gun sound. Two side buttons for Laser Beam and Atomic Bomb. Suction cups or velcro attachments on bottom. This is in working condition with bottom battery compartment cover missing. Includes box which has some crushing and creasing.
It's on it's way to England

I thought it was an Atari 2600 joystick!

It certainly is different.

Record the sounds for us, Lee. Should be interesting?

Cheers

I don't remember seeing or hearing about this. No VVI wording on the box?

Dear qpr68,

I really don't know anything more. I guess that the people that work for the record company promotions department created it. I don't know if it was just in New York, or nationwide. It is a toy which was in stores (but certainly not popular) the folks at Chrysalis thought fit the theme "All Systems Go" so they made Vinnie Vincent stickers to fit.

Doesn't look close to official. If it is I guess a guy in the chrysalis office doctored it up. The type set is wrong too

As well as the font being weird the 86 logo being used for an 88 product and why is all systems go written in such boring font? to me I am skeptical on this. Looks just doctored up.
