I saw this news release for Deiner Space Raiders online and thought I'd post it.
These papers are from early 1978. I assume these were rushed out to cash in on Star Wars the year before.
The order form and new release appear to be both for same trader, R.E.Mills of Ohio. Diener themselves were based in Chatsworth, California with a showroom in New York.
I see these erasers all the time online although I don't recall seeing them around in the late Sevenrties here in Blighty.
I have a feeling the figures are inspired by space movie monsters maybe but are the ships from movies too?
Incidentally, the capital D logo of Diener is remarkably similar to that of Durham toys based in New York and North Carolina.
