FLASH HAS A BRAND NEW BAG

Its always a buzz when I see new ways pf packaging LP style astronauts.

This was a new bag I saw this January on Ebay:

Flash Gordon Space Warriors.

These were released by MSS, M. Shimmel and Sons of Brooklyn New York,

Have you got any LP style astronauts?

Mystery Space Robot Target Game

We've probably had this mystery toy on Moonbase before but like the proverbial goldfish I forget. My only excuse is that we are very close to our ten thousandth post on the blog!

This toy space gun set, which often turn up on Ebay, has card art that looks like its from a cartoon. Does anyone know what it is?

Brain Teaser

I heard a schoolkid say the phrase mental brain today. The word mental was being used an adjective.

I had to think about this. Can the brain be described as mental? Is it like saying a thoughtful brain or a mindful brain? Are these rubbish?

I suppose they could be tautologies. Where you say the same thing twice without one of the words being needed. Like hot fire or wet rain or living animate objects or missing one out alternately.

Can you think of better examples? What about the toy shop was full of toys?

Vintage Bandai Thunderbirds Necklaces

This is an unusual shop display card of metal necklaces.

I saved the pictures from Ebay in January.

They're Thunderbirds and the maker's mark on the card is Bandai.

The listing said they were from the 1960's or 70's.

The header card is a real mish mash.  Does anyone know what's going on?

The pendants themselves are pierced metal with enamelled vehicles.

Anyone got anything like this?

A Scratchbuilt Mayor of Trumpton Figure

Hi,

Yep, I've done it again (sorry). This time, a major political icon of our youth!

Sadly, I've more of these in the works!

Take care,
