Space Link

 

I like the look of Space link, tho I've never owned any. The space stationesque parts really conjure the taste for sci-fi toys in the seventies and eighties. 

Not sure if there were action figures with Space link. I recently saw a little figure in a boxed Robotix set, which I guess is a more modern version of Space Link. 

There's also a Capsela vibe to the construction above, which I saw online.

Are you familiar with SpaceLink, Robotix and Capsela?

Its easier to show rather than tell, so here is my take on Capsela Spacelink. Originally made in the late seventies by Mitsubushi Pencil Co., Capsela was an ingenious engineering building system using capsule based components, containing motors, gears, electrical connections etc. It made building working models a simple task, as all the fiddly bits were enclosed in a plastic ball. The basic concept was in production until quite recently, from various companies, with Bandi being the latest owner. Play Jour extended the basic line into Spacelink, by adding space themed parts to attach to the capsules, such as wings and rockets and cockpits to fit inside, with a range of small figures called 'Capsenauts'.

You can see the scale of the Capsenaut figures in this line up of small figures and then running up to the Mattel Armageddon figure, which is about 8" high.

The Capsela range included remote control devices, simple computer control, infra red receivers and all manner of specialised parts.

Robotix by MB Games was a space themed building set using larger modular parts and a 3.5" figure. Although Robotix uses a similar hexagonal connector of around 20mm, it is rotated about 10 degrees, so attaching a capsule to a Robotix part meant that it was at an angle and would not sit right.

Robotix also had a few different owners over the years, with remote control parts and motors, but with an emphasis on more recognisably space module themed parts.
