I have found most of these toys on the wonderful Alphadrome Database. The Radiation Tester is from Vintage Space Toys. If you haven't had a look then do it now. Unfortunately the smaller pictures don't enlarge and I can't find anymore anywhere. Nevertheless, my thesis is simple. This SWORD- like series by Bandai are easilly the best looking space toys ever made. They ooze with a minimal futuristic style that is simply beautiful. The boxes' tasteful split graphic of a wonderful painting and a starkly simple nameplate is so pleasing to look at its untrue. I'd love to post bigger pictures. I think they were SEARS exclusives. There is also a much smaller set of one-colour die-cast lookalikes by Marx Line Mar.
