Courtesy of the amazing Alphadrome its interesting to place together the two known catalogue entries for American Moonships.
Here's the "Super Rocket Plane" from the AHI 1969 catalogue
Here's the "Moonship" from the 1969-1970 M.W. Kasch catalogue.
I've discussed both of these entries separately before [Super Rocket Plane and Moonship] but never together like this I don't think.
What's interesting is that both these catalogues were American and yet two different brands are shown. The super Rocket Plane is the AHI name for the toy and Moonship is Century 21 Toys' name.
As I've said recently though, I think the Super Rocket Plane shown is actually a Century 21 Toys Moonship.
These two toys looks the same to me!
What do you think?
It would appear that there were quite a few Century 21 Moonships in America in 1969. Looks like AHI had access to them too!
Have you a Super Rocket Plane, a Moonship, either box or any pictures from catalogues, comics and books?

For interest here's the original release note for the Century 21 Toys Moonship from Toys International the summer of 1969. Read the article headed with "It's not so unfamiliar ....."
