Its Charly Duty on the Moon Alright!

I saw this on Ebay Italy. I've blogged it before many years ago and I was fascinated back then, just like now. Space Operation Charly Duty, the Italian Billy Blastoff by Co-Ma.

Despite its obvious Billy Blastoff chops I do think Co-Ma managed to imbue its set with their own style and pazazz. There's some neat green Selenites too.

What do you think?


By the way, I looked up the name Charlie Duty: this was the surprising response! Any job or task that is deemed to be extremely undesirable Usually involves messy occupational duties(cleaning toilets in particular)! Blimey!

  1. Origins aside, "Charlie Duty" is a much cooler name for a line of space toys than Billy Blastoff, which always sounded a bit patronizing to me... SFZ
