ITS TIME TO LEAVE THE CAPSULE

 This is a beautiful toy space capsule I saw on auction.

Not one I have but I can appreciate how nice it must be to have in a collection.

Simply called SPACECRAFT this large plastic toy was released by blog legends T in a Circle aka Tai Hing of Hong Kong. Their moniker is the T in a circle pictured on the side of the box.


There are some gorgeous art panels depicting radar stations, lift off, lunar activity and splashdown.


The main box top is particularly attractive with a painting of a capsule and spacewalk.


The toy came with a small astronaut on a wire circling round the cockpit.

Let me in!

Is this one you like readers? Have you any capsules?

  2. This seems familiar, but not in red. Pretty sure I had a grey one with an astronaut on a wire.

  3. Nothing better than a toy space capsule, especially in weird colors and with flashing lights! SFZ
