X60 SPACE ROCKET LAUNCHER - JR21 AND UNBRANDED

Here we have the JR21 version of this very - SWORDESQUE toy covered previously on the blog - top picture. BUT we also have, with kind permission from Anthoni Emchowicz, a fabulous shot of the 1960's UNBRANDED x60 made in Hong Kong. Notice the similarity of the 2 logos in the 2 pictures. Can we assume that JR21 copied/ re- marketed the unbranded toy? NB. the D3 refers to the Desriability rating in Anthoni's wonderful wonderful book FUTURE TOYS ( published by New Cavendish Books)- 1 being the lowest, 8 the highest.
