I couldn't help noticing the similarity of the bulldozer on the cover of this old UTOPIA Sci Fi magazine from Germany above, from 1958 [thanks John!] with our friend the Moon Ranger from the Project SWORD toy range from 1967 [American version pictured]

Addendum:
I was so taken with the UTOPIA cover that I've mocked up a 'new' Project SWORD Moon Ranger box cover! What do you think!
Hi Woodsy - Very nice find - according to the ISFDB (Internet Science Fiction Database) it was published in 1958 - see this link - http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1456625 - Best wishes - John Swan
ReplyDeleteThanks a bunch John, that's so old! I'm really taken with it as an inspiration for the original Japanese Ranger by Nichimo and ultimately the Century 21 version too in 1967. Wonder what the story's about?
