"Hi, I like you blog!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been documenting vintage 1960s-70s Knock Off toys in preperation of making a book. Operation Astronaut is one of my favorite pieces. I have found many varations of this Knock Off including scale varations some are only 8 inches tall. This is the first time I found the varation you have. GREAT FIND!
It's hard too find such cool Sci -Fi pieces. Redbox made many Gi Joe/Action Man Knock Off's in 1960s a very prolific company they even made a KO Batman. I thought you might get a kick out of pics. There are at least 4 varations of uniform too. Overall pretty scarce toys.

Always happy to help Ed. Maybe other bloggers have more Redbox?
Redbox was a sister brand of the better known Blue-Box, though I've no idea why a second brand was thought necessary.

I've bought and sold some Blue Box toys - a nurses set and a big army base, which was quite modern, are two I remember. Did they do any space stuff?
