DAY f RAN BOOSTER ART

Some SWORD knockoff toy companies only did it once. DAY f RAN is a good example as their only foray into the Swordiverse was the cheap but fascinating Space Glider copy pictured below. So I was pleased when I spotted this DAY f RAN Space Pilot Jet Ray Gun on fleabay. It features a sort of Booster Rocket in the top left corner of the header card. OK, it's more Ehricke than Valigursky but  it's a welcome addition to otherwise sparse space gallery of this particular toy company. If only they'd cloned more SWORD. Cheap and 'NASA'!
