TAI HING AND SWORD AT THE HONG KONG TOY SHOW

Flickr photographer Bonemask has kindly let me show you some of his pics of the Hong Kong Toy Show of vintage and bootleg goodies.  Amongst the stacks of the wonders is a SWORD Scramble Bug box skulking behoing the pop-up astronaut above.
There's also some T in a Circle/ Tai Hing in the shots like the large and beautiful green Military Helicopter featured above behind the menacing Japanese guard.
And finally, a little puzzle for you. What's in this piccy above that's been featured recently on the blog?


Check out Bonemask's other flickr photo sets too!

Also appearing above: the Snoopy Astronaut doll I got in 1969 and wish I still had! (What a thing to be reminded of during the week of the SpaceX launch...)
