Man from Planet Ouch

The Outer Space Men largely passed me by as a kid and it was only recently that I came across any trace of them. When I bought the little yellow space cruiser in a job lot on ebay (see Mystery Inc) I found to my surprise that someone had prised it open and crammed inside a passenger. When I cracked it open after what must have been a fair few years, I discovered a tiny 2.5 " bendy version of Electron - the man from Pluto!

Electron himself is clearly a derivation of the fifties film star, the 'Man From Planet X' Its hardly surprising either of them look happy, one probably has a bad back and the other definitely had a bad film!

    They always seem to be after a lady in these films or at least the posters!
