Space Bling



Just when you imagine youve seen it all! Toads' searching for the Giant figures turned up this amazing piece of designer jewellery! I wonder if its going on her xmas list now ?

Its a modern piece and clearly a direct lift from one of the MPC spacemen which were the basis for the later Golden Astronaut figures as shown by Paul Vreede.

TBH - Its so bad its good! Id have to ditch the cheesy chain, but a metal GA spaceman would be nice...

That's just what it is, Wote ... so bad that it's good!

Can you imagine a 9 or 10 year old boy seeing one of these in a shop? ...

... "Mom, mom" (tugs at her sleeve) "Can I have some money to but a love pendant? Huh, can I?" (Slap!)
