I'm always on the look out for small plastic clones of Project SWORD and SpaceX. Two of the easiest spacecraft by far to find similar toys for are SpaceX's Reconnaissance 2 and Space Patrol 1, both most likely based on the US Blackbird spy plane.
On account of the Blackbird's iconic status, there are many toy versions of it. I recently came across yet another one online, pictured here, coloured translucent blue at the far right in this packet of Thunder Jets.
There was no real information with the picture but I believe that they are plastic premiums from some sort of US fruit cereal. Is this correct and are the cereals still in the shops?
POSTSCRIPT: Richard's ID'd them as candy toys from 1989 and pointed out this cool TV ad on You Tube! Cheers!

Not cereal but candy, and I'm afraid they only existed in 1989:
