These Ausini toys are new to me, as seen on auction, a small boxed set of space exploration toys promoted as the most attractive.

There's a tracked contraption of sorts
And a gizmo, which is so familiar to me, but where from?
There's a lot of detail here and puts echoes of Marx in my mind, especially the astronaut and Marx's small Major Matt Masonesque Hap Hazard carded set, courtesy of Joe K/ Alphadrome.
Even bigger Marx stuff like Johnny Apollo, especially that gold plastic hand-held gizmo.
The listing described the bigger tracked contraption as a rover but I'm unsure what it is. Do you?
Here's another Ausini boxed set. Do you like them? I can't find examples of the other two.
The gizmo you refer to looks a lot like a surveyors transit.
ReplyDeleteHi Woodsy, the tracked unit is a 'Wheelbarrow' remote bomb defusing robot as used by British EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal' officers. It can be driven up to a suspected bomb or IED and the officer can examine it through the video camera and if needed can disrupt it with a shotgun shell or water slug. Dinky Toys 604 is a Bomb Disposal Unit Land Rover which has a small snap together Wheelbarrow unit or alternitly google the real thing!
ReplyDeleteSo, in short, they're not space equipment ?!
