A few toys only ever appear once or twice; online, in books, on auction, on here.
This is such a one.
The Lunar Probe by Lucky Toys.
I think it's first appearance on MB was probably 15 years ago at the start of the blog.
This one [it could be the same one] surfaced on Ebay last year [I think the seller was ZZRobot]. I kept the snaps.

Very similar to the rocket at the rear of the JR21 Rocket Transporter, its a fabulous space toy and worthy of Project SWORD livery I think. It even has those X-series silver rocket exhaust fins.
There's an unbranded silver grey version from Eastern Europe as well.

Lucky is the word, as its not a rocket we see often at all and as such, its a blog legend.
Have you anything like it?
A legend indeed, what a beauty! SFZ
ReplyDeleteA beautiful toy indeed Woodsy! I don't have this but do have an Apollo Rocket which is a bit longer but also has wheels allowing it to run on the ground.

DeleteThe yellow label on the box is interesting 'Made exclusively for the Trade Development Enterprise, London' - presumably to encourage imports from Hong Kong and cement trade links. No wonder this ones a rarity, it may not have got outside the capital. Bill
