IT'S A BUGS LIFE

 The popular and fun looking Corgi Lunar Bug, which appeared from November, 1970 until sometime in 1972.

Door sometimes appears reversed and the folding solar panel wings are sometimes yellow.

  1. What a bizarre vehicle! Never seen this before. Obviously "inspired" by Joe 90 "Mac's Car" with a touch of Thunderbird 1 tossed in for good measure! SFZ

    1. Yes, it's certainly got a Dinky Joe's Car look, hasn't it, Zigg. I wonder if any other aspect of it's space age design was inspired by any NASA vehicles?

  2. Easily one of my fave die-casts as a kid Scoop. The wings, the door, the clickety legs, it had everything. And the space inside was great for Airfix soldier transport!
