It's always great when things come together.
Earlier this year I found a Spanish toy catalogue entry for JP versions of LP space vehicles.
And like two buses arriving, an actual toy came up shortly after!
So here, courtesy of the new owner of both, is a collage of the catalogue entry and the Tractor Espacial.
Wow!
And here are the original online listing pics:
Have you got anything like this?
Had the Hong Kong version of this as a kid, with blue body, red wheels and silver spacemen drew.
ReplyDeleteDid you Andy? I never saw them as a kid. That's the classic LP original. Its very like the drawing of the moon bus in the Lady Penelope strip. Much more like that drawing than the SWORD Moon Bus. Do you mind being called Drew?
DeleteI saw the yellow and black version in a shop in Dingle where I grew up, but as it wasnt my birthday, I wasnt allowed it! Luckily, the benificent Arto came to my aid forty plus years later!
ReplyDeleteHas that yellow and black Moon Explorer appeared on the blog? Has it got a rocket launcher on top?
DeleteNot sure where the drew came from- should have been Crew!
ReplyDeleteha ha! I quite like the name Drew!
Deleteyep, its on the blog, probably about four years ago
ReplyDeleteCan't find it. Did you post it?
