Comansi Thunderbirds: El Alunizaje!

Ive always admired this Spanish set.

The plastic moons ape recalls Ed's scratchbuilt diorama and the neon figures are brilliant.

A set I've never seen in the flesh, only surpassed by the phenomenal Trol island.

Do you have any Comansi toys? 

ULO flying saucer lamp

This caught my eye.

A ULO.

Unidentified Lighted Object!

The marketing message is a bit risky.

Your abduction begins now! 

Do you like it?

Have you got a space lamp? 

Outer Space Little Men

 I  was nuts about Outer Space Men as a kid.

Now grown up I can appreciate other more recent toys my old pals influenced.

Here's Star Attack.

Deffo a Star Wars riff.

The dome's cool, a sort of helmet shape.

Most of the aliens are here, miniaturized, including my favourite Metalunan, Orbitron. 

Do you have anything like this readers?

Robotel

Would you like to be looked after by robots?

The future is now!

I wonder if you have to tip the bell boy?

The World's first all-robot hotel to open in China!

Kevin's Custom Corgi Blakes 7

Hi,

Something a bit different. Corgi made a little Corgi Juniors Blake's 7 Liberator but that was all they did. 

In the season 2 story, "Redemption", we see the technology of the System, the people who built Liberator in the first place. 

Understandably, they want it back and launch an attack on it with two fighter ships, much smaller than Liberator but faster and more capable, they capture it. It is only the fact that our heroes have Orac by then that means they can escape.

Anyway, I had a tatty Corgi Liberator so made one of these ships from it.

To what might have been.

Heiße Rädern: Hot Wills

Hi Woodsy.

I don’t buy much on EBay, but I saw this the other day and had to have it! 

It’s a German redline set, the equivalent to our dual lane rod runner set.

I don’t know what date it’s from, I assume late 60s or early 70s , or if the cars are correct.

 Perhaps you might know or one of the other moonbasers!

Pull Harder! A FAB1 Cracker!

 During the summer car boot season I picked up this little old plastic FAB1, far right next to a Carlton one. I blogged it at the time.

About an inch long, here it is up close.

A mystery, I think it was Mish who first suggested a capsule or a cracker.

I consulted my Nicholson Guide to Anderson Merchandise and checked Japanese premiums first like Yujin. No. Morinaga. No.

I then came home and checked the British Crackers section. Bam! There it was!

A little FAB1 from a 1993 Boots cracker! What a prize!

I'd have loved it! 

Checking the net, here's some pics of the box.
