Mighty Maverick of
Small Scale World has sent me these wonderful pictures of Spanish 'Sobres' or pocket money toys, made by Montaplex. The series comprises all different kinds of toys such as cowboys and indians and even a horse drawn fire engine, staffed by astronauts! The small clip together toys also include the obligatory space range and Maverick has kindly provided shots of the 'Gemini' capsule with recumbent astronaut and the cool flying saucer with neat little aliens and TV aerial on the roof!
Check out Mavs fabulous site for loads of cool info on toys, soldiers and all kinds of rare collectables.

Those are some cool pocket money toys. The Spanish did have a penchant for Space didn't they. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI thought the fire engine with the astronauts was one of Maverick's jokes. So it is actually real ?!? ^_^
ReplyDeleteYes! I've stuck it on my page as it's MORE Wild West than Space!!!
