PROJECT R.E.D

I do love the vintage Soviet space toys which appear on fleabay from time to time. Here's a small CCCollection of pictures, from the last few months, which I felt would have made really cool Soviet SWORD toys! I particularly like the red bubble car, a sort of SWORD Isetta! I wonder of there's a really good website about Soviet space toys anywhere?

  1. I love that Bondi blue number on the right. What immediately pops into my mind is "Greetings, Commander Shore! This is patrol ship 31 of Mir Dozor Akvanavt, the Russian branch of WASP! We are here to assist!"

    (Somewhere, someone who actually speaks Russian just threw him/herself out the window at my horrible guess.)

  2. I have a clockwork 'walker/flying saucer' with 4 legs and a man in a dome like the C21 TB5 but smaller, needless to say it's in storage again, when I dig it out I'll send you the photo's...might have one on a data stick - I'll have a look?

  3. That green vehicle at lower left is actually a standard Russian armoured personnel carrier!
