In this hobby some doors close and some doors open.
Here's a cool discovery I made this week whilst browsing You Tube.
Its called Mini-Capitan Boy by Lily Ledy and is basically...
Mexican SPACEX toys!
Check out this cool clip from 0.35 seconds onwards till 1.02 minutes.
I love this mute film and its animated spacex toys! Its amazing!
Capitan Boy was the Mexican version of Billy Blastoff.
Mini Capitan Boy was a tiny variant and it would appear that it was mixed with SpaceX toys!
Some vehicles are actually different like the double-cannon Tractor in the middle of this screengrab.
We've actually seen this before on the blog but could never put a make to it. For detailed pictures see Paul Vreede's comprehensive page on this T5 clone.
Equally fascinating is how Lili Ledy appear to have placed a Mini Capitan Boy figure on top of the vehicles, which you can see here on the Moon Prospector. He seems to ride them!
For me the icing on the cake are the range of carded sets, which appear towards the end of the segment. They look like Golden Astronaut carded sets from this angle! You can see that each one appears to contain a mini Capitan Boy instead of a toy astronaut!
The larger set is made up of miniaturised versions of the standard Billy Blastoff range rather than Spacex.
You can see from this shot by El Viejo just how small mini Capitan Boy is as compared to the normal sized Capitan Boy aka Billy Blastoff. He's tiny!
What do you think?
So, has anyone got any Mini Capitan Boy De Luxe toys aka Mexican SpaceX?
This is an amazing discovery, Woodsy!
ReplyDeleteNo idea how you found this needle in a haystack, but well done - one mystery mex toy identified! I'm having a think on how I can best add this gem to my site. :)

I thought you'd like that Paul! I was blown away when it revealed itself whilst looking for the Mexican Billy Blastoff. How ingenious to shrink Billy down and sit him on top of SpaceX toys and supply him in each pack instead of a Golden Astronaut! One of those carded sets must contain your Double Barrel Tractor. can't see my simple black Mexican P3 Helicopter in there. In fact I can see the normal SpaceX one so maybe's there's another Mexican SpaceX/ Apollo Moon Exploring cloned set too!
