Bill B sent me these fab images of Consorti toys adverts.
Consorti were a distributor for the Italian market.
Their logo can be seen below left, a beige circle with a walking red figure inside.
Here we have two of the Yonezawa 21st Century range on offer in Italy presumably in the late Sixties.

Here is the Space Frontier tinplate rocket, one of my fave toys of all time and one I still have.
And below is a German ad for Yonezawa toys including the two 21st Century toys above.
Consorti is of note to Project SWORD collectors as they distributed the knockoffs of the Tarheel Moon Ranger and Hover's Booster Rocket and R/C Probe Force 3 in Italy.
The Hover Booster Rocket can be read about here.
I do like that Space Frontier, its a shame its tinplate and plastic, but if they wern't so expensive, I might have to buy one anyway!
ReplyDeleteI bought mine for 60 squid about 15 years ago. It was off a robot and space toy dealer called STARC. We met and transacted in the foyer where the Donnington Toy Fair was. Very cloak and dagger!
