I love this plastic Hestair Toys Moon Buggy.
I sold a loose one at the start of the year.
This one I saw on an old auction has the cool box.
The figures are smart too.
Part of the SRL heroes line, although I'm unsure what SRL means and what it's relationship to Hestair is. You?
Hestair made many more little figures and they popped up across the world.
Here's the M2 Action Boys Gelenk Figuren [Jointed Figures] from Germany I saw on Worthpoint. A carded pair of mechanics I think.
The Hestair figures feature yet another name on their soles, one Biewan Barter!
Now who is Biewan Barter may I ask?
Addendum: Reader Scots collection of boxed sets!
Yep I had the astronauts and a cowboy and Indian set too during my childhood, they came from a shop I've talked about before that was just a newsagent and right at the back past the magazine's, greetings cards,postcards and snow-globes of sunny southsea(wtf) was the best toy rack on the planet! These heroes/tiny tuffy's, action Jackson and my faves Madelman - MJ Southcoast base
ReplyDeleteI want to go to that Newsagents!
DeleteObscure space toys is a bottomless pit of lost treasure!
ReplyDeletehi I have loads of these figures carded boxed and loose all various lines
ReplyDeletealso space buggies war vehicles police van aliens space ship all loose and boxed
the srl stands for Simulated Real Life
Theyre nice toys, but not worth an awful lot tbh
DeleteThere like anything else really ..they are worth vwhat someone is willing to pay..I've seen carded aliens fetch as much as £200
DeleteTrue, but no intrinsic value in relation to classic toys
Deletebe nice to see pics of what you have
DeleteI dont have any Im afaid.
Deletethese hit the shelves when the star wars figures got released so got pushed aside really as star wars hit the big time .. I do remember the biewan barter figures in the zodiac toys shops where I lived and they had many different lines on sale..i had starwars figures and barter figures but the barters got more play time from me simply because I could move all the joints in more places which I found more entertaining :)

DeleteYep, Kenner missed a trick with the articulation of early SW figures, they are so static and stiff, especially compared to contemporary GI Joes.
