Confused or what! Here we have another 1960's Trade Ad for ....Project Moon no less! Boiled down to just 3 space-craft, Project Moon was obviously a much tighter ship that its much bigger cousin over at Century 21! Best of all, the two outlaws of Project Sword, the Lunar Climber and the Moonship get their very own Project! and it's going to the Moon! Obviously any lunar expedition needs a big space programme behind it so the Space Glider is sponsored by NASA! My theory that the Moonship ( and not just the one I've got) was made of tin is helped by the wording 'strongly made' in the Ad, a strangely satisfying phrase but I don't know why they didn't just write 'tin'! And I'm amazed that the Space Glider costs three times as much as the Moonship! Regent Toys - who are they? Someone please help!
( Ad coutesy of Kim Stevens). NB. It appeared in issue 27 of the Joe 90 comic, dated July 19 1969.
