Hi Paul,
Just had a look on the blog at the Luna Len (not seen one before). It shares a lot of parts with the fab MorToys robot in the attached pic (bottom).I think the MorToys robot is called Robbie (not Robby), as far as I remember.
I've also attached a few of pics of the 'Blue Box style toys featured on the blog. The grey saucer is marked Bluebox (middle pic). The Tank is from what I believe is the original range made by Yone in Japan (top pic). The Japanese versions are clockwork with sparking mechanisms built in.

Great stuff Ferryman. Ta. Woodsy. I've realised that a small wheeled silver rocket I found at a boot sale years and years ago was actually a Bluebox Jet Plane SJ2 as seen on the box above. My rocket didn't have any fins! Its pictured in the left hand corner of the top pic below in this gallery of my first collecting efforts taken in the early 1990's.
That Space Car SC-4 looks good.
ReplyDelete"MORTOYS" is an interesting choice of name. (think Stephen Fry doing his General Melchett voice):
"What do you want for Christmas, boy?"
"Mortoys, sir."
"More toys, boy? More!"
I'd sure like to add that Project Sword Annual to my collection. I'll bet it has some great illustrations.
