ARCHERS? NO. ASTRONAUTS!


This bag of Archer type spacemen caught my eye. The header card is striking and unusual. I've seen the ship before but I can't think where. I did think it was home-made at first but it says Made in Hing Kong in the bottom left corner. Its just unusually uncluttered for a header and lacks much lettering of any kind except for Astronauts.

What do you think?

  1. The header card is an illustration of Werner Von Brauns RM 1 Rocketship, which he designed for Disneys World of Tommorrow TV show: https://fantastic-plastic.com/disney-rm-1-lunar-reconnaisance-vehicle-1955.html

  2. Yes, I have the Glencoe reissue model kit of the groovy Strombecker Man in Space RM1 - wonder if I will ever get to build it?
