THE MYSTERIOUS HMC WIZARDBUG

 

This is weird.

A plastic bug ina really basic header bag I saw online.

The Wizardbug by HMC.

It says its patented.

The little ball inside reminds me of Marx Roly-Kins.

Ever come across one readers?

Mystery Radar Car

Cruising Worthpoint I found another mystery amidst the many spaceships -

The white radar tank like vehicle on the left. What is that?

Yellow Mystery Fellow

Seen on Worthpoint,  What's that mystery yellow vehicle at the bottom left?

Any clue?

MYSTERY AMPHIBIOUS TRUCK

 This mystery vehicle is in my photo archive. I've no idea what it is.

Have you readers?

MYSTERY GLASWEGIAN SCULPTOR PHOTOGRAPH

 An odd one this, even for MC; on one of our summer car boot trips a stallholder was giving away hundreds of random old prints collected over years. This is the one I liked as it seemed interesting, although it is a mystery as to who is on it.

 [It sort of reminded me of an old horror movie, Bucket of Blood, about a beatnik sculptor maniac!].

This mystery print shows a sculptor at work with a man sitting and another man watching.  The sculptor has a distinct Zapata moustache and goatee beard.

The back of the print is what I assume to be the photographer's address in Glasgow.

Can anyone shed any light on this old monochrome print?

Mystery Star Fighter

This Star Fighter is a mystery. I saw it on an Australian auction site earlier this year. The big yellow dome recalls a large lamp dome on a chunky torch lamp.

Any ideas?

Mystery Cool Radar Car

Seen on Ebay this year this neat lunar radar rover caught my eye. It looks familiar sort of. Described as 6 inches long with a Home made dish.

Any ideas as to what it is readers? 

MYSTERY JOSMAN COSTUME

 

I saw this on Todocoleccion recently. Anyone know what this costume is from?

MYSTERY MACHINE 2

 

Another ship I don't know at all I saw online is this.

I like its complex body but what is the LIABE?

MYSTERY MACHINE

I saw this on the web and thought, hmm, I don't know what that is.

There's a lot going on. There's a rotor at the rear and maybe a missile position at the front.

Little green monster looks impressed.

Any idea what it is readers?

F U T U R E T E C H C A R: A Mushroom Comics Mystery

 This is unusual and a new one on me. I saw it online this year.

Futuretech.

A sort of futuristic friction sports car.

The body is iridescent.

The rear spoiler gives it a sort of Sam Loover's Car vibe.

Part of a Funline brand, the toy was issued by Mushroom Comics. The logo is an atomic mushroom cloud!

I know nothging about Mushroom Comics. Do you readers?

I dunno, I like this toy and the whole Futuretech look.

SWATS THAT?

I'm seeing SWAT and Police Cars with Action dolls all over the place!

This is a Japanese Hema toy AMERICAN Alfa Romeo Police car I saw online on Ebay.

Maybe those figures are Action Team? Have these GI Joe Action Men got stockings on their heads? These fighting men get everywhere!

Have you found them in strange places readers?

and here's LJN's SWAT set from 1976 courtesy of RetroWaste. Are the HEMA guys SWAT too?

Those SWAT figures, here close-up and courtesy of MYMEGOLIKE, look like little Action Men! Anyone got any SWAT toys. Was it a TV show?

and here's LJN's similar Rookies too courtesy of Plaid Stallions. Was that a TV show?

Have you a Police Car with action dolls like these or Action Man/GI Joe readers?

WILL'S CHOCK O BLOCK WRAPPER 2

Hi Woodsy

Re. yesterday's mystery Chock O Block wrapper post, Reader Lewis thinks that the gold wrapper may be from the back of the McVities captain scarlet chocolate bar set , and I think he may be right , as these wrappers came to me at the same time. 

Do other Moonbasers concur?

Will's Mystery Gerry Anderson Wrapper

PLANET SURFACE PATROL: MYSTERY MACHINE

 This strange space vehicle caught my eye online a while back.

Planet Surface Patrol.

Its has pull-back action and and was made in China.

The orange ribbed wheels immediately made me think of the SpaceX MEV2, but the picture shows a more conventional tyre.

And what is that design? It seems so familiar. Any ideas?

Mystery Stingray Model Seen on You Tube: Lyons Maid?

 

This clip appeared years ago on You Tube and I've just found it again. What do you think it is readers? Is it a Lyons Maid Stingray, like the one posted today from Will O?

Searching for Or

Years ago I bought a book on Space Toys of the Sixties by James Gillam. Inside the Major Matt Mason section was reference to an unproduced toy called the Orbitor. It included a small crustacean-like alien called Or from Orr I think.

I did one post on the Orbitor about 12 years ago and this is my second one. Last time I mentioned coverage of the toy on the Wildtoys website. Alas, this amazing site appears now to have gone from the net entirely.

My old post is one of just a few that actually mention the Orbitor now.

There's a reference to the Orbitor on Wheeljacks Lab, describing it as an 'educational toy', but no other information or pictures.

In fact I couldn't find a single image of this unproduced toy anywhere on the web. I know there is at least one image in existence, because its in my Gillam's Sixties Space Toys book. It shows the Orbitor as a sort of spinner with the creature sat on top under a dome. Its powered by a kind of vertical foot-pump I think.

Have you come across Major Matt Mason's Orbitor or Or from Orr readers?

WHAT IS THAT BAZOOKA? SOLVED!

 

This photo credited to James Vaughan of a young lad with a huge bazooka has me baffled.

Is that a toy?

Does anyone know?

Thanks to Yorkie's link we have the video of the Sixties TV ad ... and yes, a young Kurt Russell - making waves early on!
