I'm always chuffed when I see a new variation or brand of Apollo Moon Exploring knockoffs. Recently on Hebay were two such goodies completely new to me. First up and shown above was this carded SPACE COMMAND by FUNMATE, who are more well known for plastic cars than space toys. There appears to be an Apollo capsule, a US flag, radar array and LEM. The astronaut is more Giant than LP/ SpaceX. I particularly like the Earth-moon system card art. Anyone know any more about this set?
The second set was a foursome of small space toys in a bag pictured below. It contained a blue Capsule, a silver LEM, a small orange space car and a neat tube of Apollo USA model cement. I was lucky enough to win this set and will report back once it lands on Moonbase. Anyone seen the items before?
What I thought was a rocket shaped tube of model cement is actually a plastic rocket!
