Well it was a humid Friday night on Moonbase and the space curry was cracked open to celebrate another lunar weekend. My favourite post-dinner pastime is searching for space toy box art with SWORD or SpaceX connections. My new offerings from cyberspace are:
Cosmic Water Gun: a large plastic water rifle made in China in the 1970's. On the header card you can just make out the black silhouette of the MOLAB as featured on the cover of Rocket Stories [artist: Alex Schomberg]. You can see the original on the cool Main Street Toys site. No other image found of this toy.
Metralleta Rayo Spacial: a 37 cm-long tinplate space rifle seen on the cool Mark Bergin Toys. Made in Spain by JYE. It's not often that our pal the X-20 Dyna Soar gets a look in on box art but here's one - top right corner of the box side. Here's a close-up below.
