BIG EXPLORER WITH ASTRONAUT

I was impressed with this on Worthpoint Auctions a while ago:

 "Big Explorer"

You can switch between "hand mode" and "battery mode".

Made by BIG , West Germany, in the 70's by the looks of it.

Production number: 941. Dimensions 40CM x 19CM x 21CM (H).

I love the design!

You ever seen one readers?

  1. Nope never seen it before! Looks like a special FX model! Canopy reminds me of a rebel snowspeeder from Empire strikes back - Mark J

    1. I haven't either MJ. I've seen other BIG stuff. The brand has a sort of bison on it I think. And there it is, on the right hand side of the box. I see what you mean about the snowspeeder!

    1. It is cool. Looks big enough for Major Mattster to me. There's a similar miniature by Wen Toys, another German toy company https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Toy-SPACE-PATROL-Wentoys-Carded-MOC-Starcom-Bootleg-KO-LWNR-China/173350137651?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3D8fe0f9c89cce46488d8ada92816a7e06%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D15%26sd%3D142920673552%26itm%3D173350137651&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3Aa5564a33-b388-11e8-b99c-74dbd180e198%7Cparentrq%3Aba20679b1650aad096a3f386fffe073c%7Ciid%3A1
