I love this Soviet/ Bulgarian Mobil space truck by Straume on Ebay.
There's just something appealing about its design.
The coffin style box is so familiar as well to Western toy collectors.
the body is made of thin plastic set over a harder chassis. It must be fragile.
It could even pass as Soviet Project SWORD!
Do you like it?
The listing includes pics of more Soviet space toys; two Lunokhods and a Big Trak!
I wonder widespread such toys were in the old Soviet Union? Were they available everywhere across the bloc?
Just the sort of thing a Bond villain would have in his secret underground base, transporting personnel and equipment. The lower section is an odd shape, perhaps re-used from a toy boat ?
ReplyDeleteYes Paul, it does look like one of those subterranean runarounds doesn't it! Delivering pizza to Dr. Evil!
DeleteThe primitive and boxy design of most Soviet toys of the era are so cool...
