As a postscript to my Kellogg's cereal premium posts, here is a look at the U.K models available in Sugar Smacks around 1970. In the US, there were two extra models, a lacklustre Astronaut figure and a large spidery Radar Dish. I much prefer the excellent UK lineup, which is shown here with another space premium from R & L, a whistle in the shape of a space shuttle.

| Moon Rover or Molab |

| Apollo Command and Service Module and LEM |

| Hooty Toots Shuttle Whistle and Mercury Atlas Rocket on Gantry |

| Rocket Transporter and Atlas |

| Shuttle and Space Station |
I well remember these, I had most of them. I got the molab recently. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI loved these as a kid in the UK and as a young teen in Australia on their reissue.
ReplyDeleteI never realised the rings on the space station wete meant to hold a piece of thread that went all the way through the model!
I got mine loose, so didn't get the rings. But it makes sense now!
