More old auction shots, this time that neat six wheeled trundler from the Imperial Toys Apollo Moon Exploring carded range.
Here's a Funmate carded Space Command clone in orange, along with some blue space rock, radar and more.
Here's the Imperial original, the six wheeler in its FAB1 pink and a mini Major Matt lounging around on his ... Now what is that fabulous space vehicle called?
Which do you prefer? Funmate or Imperial?
It's a Reconojet, Woodsy.

Funmate is not a copy of Imperial as such. Both repackaged the range of toys made by LP, which LP also sold in its own packaging, as did others. Here's some of them

I've put Imperial on a page to themselves because they turn(ed) up more often so I believe their output was more important than the others.

Great links Paul. Thankyou.
DeleteGreat toys, but why the weird pink? Maybe they had an overstock of pink plastic? They couldn't have possibly been aiming at girls, could they? SFZ
