Arto recently picked up the 1950's Spaceways and Adventure Annuals.
Arto says:
I'm thrilled to see those toys, X-300 and the X-400 and Cherilea monsters like the Lizard and the Ant-Man (which I have as metal figures) featured in the Annuals' stories.
(Pictures below.)
I was unaware of this kind of connection until recently, and it adds a whole new dimension to the Pyro / Cherilea lore.
It would be nice to know which came first, the annuals or the toys.
The Pyro toys may have been already around in the U.S. at that time (ca. 1954), but how does the publication of the annuals relate to the launch of their Kleeware / Tudor Rose counterparts?
Was there some kind of planned synchronicity?
