CONSOLED BY BUTTONS: VINTAGE TOY SPACE CONSOLES

I love space consoles and regularly had Major Matt Mason, Callisto and Action Man sat down assessing their situation in front of screens. A bit like we all do now! I didn't really have any proper consoles except for the seating area in the Major Matt Mason Space Station. I thought I'd take a quick tour of what I missed out on.


1. Moonbase Alpha by Mattel - is this true to the TV series?

2. Star Trek by Mego - ah, the Captain's chair! Everyone should feel the power of Kirk!

3. Space Place by Jestoy - for fashion doll's trained by NASA.

4. Space Command Center and Sound Studio by Sears - for GI Joe's itching to get behind a console.





5. SpaceX Moon Base HQ by Tri-ang - HO scale computers and work stations never looked so neat.



6. Major Matt Mason Space Station by Mattell - the chair and monitir deck where dreams were made.

Did you have a space console readers or do you know of any others we can add to the print-out?
