This CLIM extravaganza is a classic multi-wheeled monster.
Interestingly, the listing on Spain's Todocoleccion suggests that the red driver cab is somehow linked to a Star Wars Mini Rig!
What do you think?
Here's two I saw on Ebay.
Is it the MTV-7?
or ISP-6?
Whilst browsing Todocolleccion I saw these neat space toys.
This is some sort of 8 wheeled space crane.
This Spanish Rescate Lunar is very swish. A moon rescue craft. But which moon?
It's clearly some sort of futuristic pedalo.
I'm pretty sure I had an action man board game as a kid. These two Spanish games caught my eye on Todocollecion, both branded as Falcon, although I'm unsure what that is. Adventure Team?
This second one, Falcon-80 Contra Torak, could have a space theme, as there's an alien loitering behind the men.
The two games were released by Estrela
Have you anything like this?
There's something poignant about this cover art. I like the way the alien has its eyes half-closed looking down, perhaps lost in thought. The few strokes to create the spaceship have been done well too and I think it looks great.
The alien is clearly influenced by the Man from Planet X movie poster art ( a film I've yet to see. Have you seen it?)
This Spanish parachute rack toy on auction caught my eye.
Galaxias en Guerra or Galaxies at War: clearly a big old nod to Star Wars. The mash-up continues with what I reckon is a painted Superman figure and is that nifty card art the work of Chris Foss?
I like it! You?
These astronauts are new to Moonbase. I like the box art.
I adored Action Stickers when I was a kid. You know, those rub-down transfers that went onto different glossy scenes. There were loads of packs and space was popular.
These packs from Spain look like a similar thing, Il Trastoriello Mondadori.
We've seen Bob McCall's art used on toys and games before, not least on the box art of the Century 21 Toys Nuclear Ferry and here's another one, I think which is new to the blog.
It's a Spanish puzzle on Todocollecion's auction site showing the artist's iconic jet-pack astronaut and the lunar domes we've seen many times.
The cubed puzzle can be re-positioned into other pictures, all non McCall.
Do you have any Bob McCall art, pictures, toys and games?
I love the way the astronaut is checking his watch on this card art!
These Guisval watches from Spain sum up the twin delights of the space race and owning your first watch.
Do you recall your first watch? After several toy ones, mine was a Timex I think.
This flying ship, Pioneer 2100, I saw on Spain's Todocollecion, is a red ringer for the Flying Sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.
What do you think?
This Spanish carded set is odd. The attractive Space rocket art suggests a space toy but the game appears to be fishing for 'paper' boats!
and is that Thunderbird 3's red engine at the left hand side of the backing art?
Like I said, strange!

This Christmas I was lucky enough to receive this beautiful toy from my daughter and her family with a little help from Santa too!
Its the Rescate Espacial - Space Rescue - toy set by Congost of Spain 1969.
Its a huge battery-operated toy in a big coffin box, graced with a great photo box lid.
It works really well and here's a short clip of the helicopter in action.
This old Spanish catalogue shows an interesting toy pistol top right, Pistol Zumbador.
It looks familiar. The red missile says Johnny Seven to me, which suggests a Topper Deluxe Reading influence.
Did Topper issue a toy like this pistol?
