These petit guys have recently joined us here at Moon Base. Made by Bullycan of Spain and called Aviones Cosmicos, they are basically cheap knock-offs of three of our Spacex buddies. It always amazes me how often Spacex and SWORD got re-hashed by other companies. Testiment to their quality and design I reckon. I really do like these Spanish Aviones and I'll be posting more shots of the toys and backing card this week.

Are these the only Bullycan copies, Woodsy? I'm hoping there might be a Pleasure Cruiser ... (my fav, as you know).
I have a set of those as well, albeit in different colours. Found that Bullycan still exists, so gave them a bell and spoke to the son of one of the founders. Sadly I got the same old reply I always get; "too long ago, records long discarded etc". But he -was- pretty sure these were the only space toys they produced at the time.

Thank you, Paul. Not the news I was hoping for, but at least I know now.
Sorry to dash your hopes, Toad. But as you say, certainty in disappointment is sometimes better than hoping for the nonexistent...
(fwiw: Alex, my youngest also prefers the Cruiser over all others :)
Absolutely. I'd always rather know for sure than live in false hope.
Nice to know your youngest has good taste too! (waves to Alex.)
