Woodsy,
I got this as part of a job lot last year., and it appears to be a spaceman parachutist. There's a little hook on each shoulder that I'm guessing may have held a parachute and he appears to be designed to shoot out of a pistol like a dart gun.
What do you think?

SOLVED!
Woodsy,
One of the guys on facebook (Meta) identified the odd spaceman I assumed was a parachutist shot from a dart gun. Turns out I was right. It was a parachutist included on a carded 'Battlestar Galactica' (original series) set with a ray gun looking pistol which propelled the astronaut heavenward.

That's not an astronaut Ed, it's a Cylon.
ReplyDeletetrue Mish - I realize that now, but when I got it I didn't know it was a BG toy and it looked like an astronaut.
DeleteGreat that its been ID'd Ed! Lovely looking thing too, like a space-age tent peg! I love old rack toys like this!
ReplyDeleteIf I had room out in The Cave, I'd set up a special display of rack toys - they're so fun and bring back a lot of memories.
DeleteI had a Cylon bubble pipe figure that looked like that, I wonder if it was the same manufacturer?
ReplyDeleteCould well be Looey. There were loads of cheapish Battlestar Galactica rack toys.
