Its always a buzz when I see new ways pf packaging LP style astronauts.
This was a new bag I saw this January on Ebay:
Flash Gordon Space Warriors.
These were released by MSS, M. Shimmel and Sons of Brooklyn New York,
Have you got any LP style astronauts?
You've an eye for finding the obscure, Woodsy. What a great header card illustration! The spaceman's helmet and suit have a retro/industrialised look about them :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Tone. I have liked the small Golden astronauts since I was a kid and got SpaceX toys and I like the bigger LP astronauts ever since the early 90's when there was a chance that they'd been included in the fabled Project SWORD Moonbase Playset. Just a chance mind and the set hasn't been seen in decades.
DeleteCan't work out what the thingy is that the header spaceman is carrying!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was perhaps a projectile with tail fins, Woodsy? I could be totally wrong though. Wonder if the illustrator had a story idea behind the image, or just patched together a few space theme props for good measure? I like it either way :)
