Hey Paul, attached is my Multiple Toymakers Space collection. This is three sets. The Lunar Space Station, Apollo Space Station and the large Apollo rocket set at right. They're almost complete. They obviously reused these molds over and over again and parts of them of course ended up in the Fireball XL5 set. They're really cheap and nasty compared to the Marx equivalents but regardless I like them. Cheers Rob, Canada
I have a couple sets as well (different from that shown) as well as a bunch of loose stuff. MPC was sometimes a 'love it or hate it' company but they still ended up with lots of cool toys!
ReplyDeleteI noticed a few "Galaxy Laser Team" figures from the late 70's mixed in with these sets. Those original MPC Mercury style astronauts were my favorite as a child. I managed to find about 30 of them at a local toy soldier show.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to acquire that large multi-leveled rocket to the right -- I had one as a little boy and it gave me a lot of joy. What exactly is it called, who's the maker, where might I look for it, etc., etc...?
ReplyDeleteHi krjames, I think its called the Apollo Rocket Set, Its by Multiple Toymakers. Best place to look is Ebay.com
