I've always liked the look of this Space Case by Multiple Toymakers.
I saw this on the Bay and kept the image ages ago.
Dated 1970 [what a year! I wuz 10], it mashes together everything we love: SpaceX, Apollo Moon Exploring and Thunderbirds! What's not to like!
The little orange space car is a cutie and is a mini version of a Billy Blastoff buggy.
Thunderbird 5 has become Space Station 6! You gotta love the nuances of toy knockoffoffery!
You get a whole load of little LP astronaut clones too! Are they SpaceX size I wonder?
Have you got this set or any of the toys in it readers?
ive got a version of the space station, in grey. MT just lashed together any toy lines they had lying around to cash in the resurgence of space fever as Star Wars loomed on the horizon!
ReplyDeleteWasn't it the tale end of the Space Race after the Moon Shot maybe driving this mashing up of space toys Bill? Star Wars was a while away.
