Space Age Toys Ship Now Seen

A good while back Arto and I were discussing the fabulous box art of the vintage "Space Age Toys" and a possible connection to the Ray Guard X-2 toy box art.

Well, thanks to the The Peter Hansen Collection of Comic Art, Vintage Toys and other collectables - Part 3 at Excalibur Auctions, we can now enjoy actual pictures of the plastic remote controlled

toy itself, which I think is the first time for MC.

And the interesting instructions with 'patent pending'.

What do you think readers? 

RAY GUARD SPACE AGE TOYS SPACE SHIP II

Reader Arto spotted this clearer old auction piccy of the Space Age Toys I blogged a while back.

You can clearly see the astronaut on the box art I referred to in my last post.

SPACE AGE RAY-GUARD X-2 BOX LINK

Looking at the Space Age Toys r/c toy I posted this morning I realised I'd seen part of the box art before.

Its the astronaut top left covered with a price sticker. He's beaning a ray at the toy.

Well here's that astronaut again on another space toy, which some of you may have, the Ray-Guard Spaceship X-2, a blue Thunderbird 2 clone.

The only picture I can find of this appeared here on Moonbase in 2009, here right. You can just see the astronaut with the beam of light on the box.

I wonder what the connection is between the two toys? Are they the same maker? They share the same light-control technology [what does trig and turn action mean?]

Has anyone got the Ray-Guard X-2?
