THE MAN FROM UNCLE RAY GUN AFFAIR GAME BY IDEAL

I enjoyed owning this beautiful toy-game for a while before selling it in in the late Noughties. Photo taken in my attic office back then.

Did you ever have this amazing set?

WOMBLE MOON

I got my late Mum this little plastic womble in the early Seventies. Somehow it stuck with me.

BRITISH PATHE: SEARS ROCKET BASE 1966

Feast your eyes on this Sears Rocket Base at the 17th International Nurenburg Toy Fair 1966. It appears at 29 seconds with a pup barking at it.

The Sears Rocket Base was the forerunner of the Century 21 Toys Project SWORD Apollo Saturn rocket.

MR. RUSTY'S GANG

Took a snap of this little shelf corner 'cos there's a neat gathering of odd toys forming.
