This is the vintage Space Exploration carded set made by Mikephil. Clearly an LP/ Apollo Moon Exploring knockoff, it has a collectability all of its own now. I find the backing card and artwork especially appealing. The two cards shown have differing coloured space capsules [courtesy of Darth and Astronit]. Does anyone own any more Mikephil sets or colour variations?
If you like the robots pictured on the card art then you'll love Astronit's supercool flickr gallery including the seldom seen Dragon Master carded set. Click here.
Makes you wonder just how many knock-off's of these little space toys are out there. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteThose I clearly recall hanging on racks in the toy section of the local supermarket and as a child seldom getting my mother to put such in our shopping cart.
ReplyDeleteI put a rather battered one on my blog ages ago, it does turn-up on FeeBay quite often and can't be terribly rare
