Fellow enthusiasts in the Robot world are blessed with miniature vintage Robbie Robots [a la Forbidden Planet] in small plastic gumballs. Despite it's unlikelihood I have still been inspired by their good fortune and have been perusing cyberspace for SWORD charms! No luck yet but there are some interesting old space charms out there as you can see pictured. I especially like the top set [which may not be charms but plastic re-casts] with the space diggers, the yellow shuttle with it's SpaceX Pleasure Cruiser-like body and the corkscrew- winged craft. It just reminds me of our friend, the strange bipedal SpaceX LAMA. I'm also taken with the pink jet bottom right which exudes SWORDish sleekness! Who wore these things?
Anyone collect gumball space charms or know much about them? Where they largely a US craze?
