I've blogged these before.
I've still only ever seen them online,
UFO, Mysteries of the Universe and Visitors from Outer Space.
Like a Sci-Fi Polly Pocket, these plastic flying saucers come with a gaggle of aliens and a gadget or two.
A classic rack toy, these sets were made with love.
As a kid I would have adored them.
Just look at the maggoty alien babies inside the one below! How great!
The use of NAZCA symbols and ancient wonders on the card back just make them even more interesting for budding Ufologists. I mean how many toys have a NAZCA spider on them?
If it was the Sixties LP would snapped them up but these are from the 80's or 90's and appear to be unbranded.
Anyone know the maker and the date?
The saucers open up like flowers on Mars and away you go.
Closed up they're a neat domed UFO that probably fits in the pocket.
There were three different saucer sets and all made in China. I cannot see a brand name.
Anyone remember these?
Do you like them?
I'd have loved these as a kid and as a collector, Woodsy. Similar design to Mighty Max play sets.

ReplyDeleteThose are great sets, and really well done. Yes, I would have loved them too.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of a Saucer Full of Secrets, but a saucer full of maggots? That's a new one on me!
ReplyDeleteCheers guys and thanks for the link Amorfan. I love that site!
ReplyDeleteI had the green one as a kid, I bought it at big lots in Ohio. Probably in the late 90s
