The vintage toy to the right is the Apollo Rocket.
Its side nacelles remind me of the iconic rods on the original USS Enterprise.
The engines' astrodomes are similar too.
You can read much more about the Apollo Rocket and related toys on Bill's post The Sum of its Parts.
Here's the SpaceX R6 Rescue Craft. Its red engine is the wrong way round.
This and moie are explained in detail by Bill in his posts Exhaustive Spacex Research and Rescue Me.
I couldn't help noticing the R6's similarity to a bayonet lightbulb with a silver collar!
Another toy which has an exhaust tube is this 3D printed Dyna Soar by Shapeways. Its tube is topped with engines the right way up!
More toy connections to come!
