APOLLO MOON EXPLORING CARDED SET OF TWELVE 1970

Complete set of 12 carded vehicles from 1970 by Imperial Toy Corporation USA.
(MM Collection - mid 1990's)
I love this set of 12 Apollo Moons by Imperial Toy Corporation of Los Angeles . They aren't mine - the pic was sent to me by a US collector in the mid - 1990's. In fact I have never owned any of these but this will change soon as a few loose items are heading my way from the States courtesy of Ebay. For me the collection looks generally like the Golden Astronaut Series, the US version of Spacex. The obvious links are the little golden astronaut in each set and specific doppelgangers like the Moon Prospector, Mobile Launching Pad and the Helicopter. The flashes of Major Matt Mason in there are so cool too! But what are they readers?
