WORLD WITHOUT FRONTIERS

Kindly Sent in by Terranova47, here's another plastic China-made 'Frontier' style rocket on its truck.

Not sure what Races refers to!

and here's a nice trio of the original tin rocket family as it appeared a while back on Live Auctioneers/ I had the Space Frontier a s a kid. Loved it!

ON THE FRONTIER

 Saw this on Amazon India and bam!

I recognised that rocket on the back!

It's my Frontier Rocket I had as a kid in the 60's!

Did you have one of these Frontiers?

Vintage Spanish Space Toys Christmas 1969

There's some interesting old space toys on this Spanish clip on You Tube.

There's a 21st Century Toys tall stroller and the tinplate Space Frontier rocket, one of my Big Four tin toys as a kid.

Can you see anything else?

MY BIG FOUR: SPACE FRONTIER ROCKET

Like the DESERT PATROL JEEP, this was one of my BIG FOUR tin toys when I was an anklebiter in Sixties Preston, the fabulous SPACE FRONTIER ROCKET by Yoshino of Japan [footage found on YouTube]. A huge horizontal rocket with spinning front and rear sections, mystery action and illuminated nose cone. But the best bit was when the rocket stopped dead and the hatch opened allowing a space cameraman to rise up on a sort of armature. Totally wondrous! This toy was one of my top destroyers of entire Airfix carpet armies! I bought my 'adult' example for £60 years ago from STARC, a robot dealer who I met at Doncaster toy fair [wonder if he's still around?]. The box art is very atmospheric but the boxes to these toys often seem scuffed and worn for some reason. Who else had or has one?
