Looking at the Space Age Toys r/c toy I posted this morning I realised I'd seen part of the box art before.
Its the astronaut top left covered with a price sticker. He's beaning a ray at the toy.
Well here's that astronaut again on another space toy, which some of you may have, the Ray-Guard Spaceship X-2, a blue Thunderbird 2 clone.
The only picture I can find of this appeared here on Moonbase in 2009, here right. You can just see the astronaut with the beam of light on the box.
I wonder what the connection is between the two toys? Are they the same maker? They share the same light-control technology [what does trig and turn action mean?]
Has anyone got the Ray-Guard X-2?
Great minds think alike Arto! I posted this as you left your comment! I agree with you, its the same astronaut. Do you think the two toys are connected?

The TB2 came in two colour versions, green and blue.
Thanks a lot Arto. A gorgeous toy and a big price tag!
