LUCKY TOYS LUNAR PROBE NO.1 - JR21 ROCKET LOOKALIKE



This interesting rocket was recently on Ebay. It's a dead-ringer for the rocket on the JR21 and similar Rocket Carriers featured before on the blog. The name, Lunar Probe No.1, is clearly similar to SWORD names like Probe Force No.1. I am familiar with Lucky Toys making plastic racing cars. Did they make any other space toys or even Lunar Probe 2 and 3 I wonder?

The seller, Ilex18, kindly sent the extra pictures and information before it was sold:

"Hi Paul. I've sent some pictures. It's hard to get clear pics of the small
writing, but it reads on top of box "Lunar Probe No. 1, Friction Drive Chromed
Parts, The Lucky Toys, Made Exclusively For Trade Development Enterprises LTD.,
London." The small writing on side flaps reads "No. 186, Made in Hong Kong."
Hope this info helps.Many thanks for your interest, Holly"
