MYSTERY SPACE TOY


This tiny cracker toy caught my eye on the cool Making Good Use site. I've seen it before at a larger scale along with a few LP spacemen on a backing card but just can'y think where. What on earth is this thing - a space boat?
 
UPDATE!
That's what I was thinking of! Hawk-eyed Arto has spotted the very same toy, albeit bigger, in a Hong Kong Space Exploring set on Ebay, pictured below. But where does the strange design come from? And that isn't an LP spaceman with it or?

Hi Woodsy, a similar kind of rocket ship is included in this HK Exploring Space set that was recently for sale on eBay http://tinyurl.com/cdny7q7

May well come up in other sets too, possibly with other colour variants as well.

Cheers Arto
