Hi Woodsy,
among my many irons in the fire in my retirement, I decided to clean out my garage for studio space.
Back in the 60's when I was a kid, my Mum had a friend called Coral Oldfield who amongst other things, collected toy robots.
Later in the 80's she decided to de-clutter and gifted me the lot, an enormously generous thing to do given the postage costs from the UK to Australia.
It turns out the toys still had their original packaging, often in pretty good shape.
I put them away safely and recently decided to take another look at them.
There are some classic tin toys, along with more "plasticky" ones.
One of these was Luna Len - a vague Billy Blastoff figure.
As I my eyes slid over the box, I did a double take - it was a C21 Toy!
Here are some pics I just took, 50 years on from when he was bought!
Keep on bloggin'

That is a wonderful C21 discovery, Lewis. I've eyed this colourful chap before as someone very welcome to Helsinki Base ranks, but your breaking news makes it an urgency! Congratulations also on preserving Luna Len in such a great condition, with an immaculate box too.
