Using this great SPACEX family portrait sent to me over 10 years ago from the WOTAN archive, I wonder if you spacexers can name the Tri-ang toys pictured?
l to r, t to b: LAMA, Booster Rocket, NASA Glider/Lifting Body Rescue Craft, Molab, Lunar Transporter radar array and one half arm from Surveyor 2. (note Lifting Body and LT have been repainted)
Well actually, that astronaut doesn't have any yellow varnish over the chrome plating, so isn't "golden" as such. :) (The later Spacex toys I've seen on unopened cards have plain plated astronaut figures with them, which is why Wotan put him in the picture)
(and a correction: it's one entire arm from the Surveyor 2 vehicle, not half :)
