Hi Woodsy. Santa and Father Stanley Unwin compare their vintage model T Fords!

Wishing you and all Moonbase readers a happy and peaceful Christmas.

A REAL CLASSIC BENTLEY

 I keep seeing plastic toy Bentleys like the die-cast toy of Steed's car from the Avengers, which Scoop has previously covered fully here on MC.

For me there is something really appealing about plastic.

Here's another plastic Bentley in dark green, a 'Real Classic' and remote control.

And is that a plastic Secret Service Gabriel car on the box header too?

Do you know of any other plastic toy Bentleys?

THE SIXTEEN 12 MICRO LABORATORY EAGLE

 A reminder of some of the photos I took of Sixteen 12's pre-production Micro Laboratory Eagle last year, and the final one in the set of five, so far announced. 

It comes as quite a package. Not bad for a tad under forty quid. As you can see the injection plastic and aluminium model will feature a detachable laboratory pod and spine booster.

Aluminium engine bells on the main ship and the spine booster.

No firm release date, as yet , but I imagine it won't be that long.

It also comes with a tiny in-scale Moon Buggy.

LITTLE TWINS AND POOCHY HOT PIZZA AND SODA VAN

I don't think we've had this Pizza and Soda Van on Moonbase before.

Its a Multiple Toymakers variant on their ice cream van.

Here it is complete in its nifty case along with the three figures of the little twins and poochy.

Century 21 Toys also issued the van as a Topo Gigio ice cream van in a Project SWORD style box.

A BOOK FOR CHRISTMAS

 

I adored this as a kid. Did you?

ZEROID!

 I noted reader Mish mentioned a Zerak Zeriod he'd bought from Metropolis Toys a while back. I must admit I love Zeriods, and used to do a fair few  posts on the mighty robots from the planet Zero, and their later incarnation, S.T.A.R. Team.

LEWIS'S OLD TREASURES

Hey do you ever put off things like looking in old bags?

It's almost ten years since my father died and I had to clean out and sell off the family home we had for almost 50 years...

I have a bunch of stuff pulled out of the attic including college projects and stuff my mother saved. They've been sitting in my garage waiting for me to build up the courage to look.

Here's one my mother saved that may interest MC readers.

It's a 70s vintage Australian Myers bag, but inside is a collection of my childhood toys I didn't think even existed anymore!

A small teddy bear, with the fragments of a scarlet train driver's uniform my mother made for him. The bear has survived, but (moths?) Have reduced the clothes to powder.

A collection of die cast cars, mostly pre-Superfast Matchbox, but there's also Budgie and Husky models.

Britain's divers sets (remember how they were featured on MC this year?)

The missing camera man from my Corgi Samuelson's van.

A Rollykin World Cup Willie figure! Flat trees that I think are 60s Lego accessories.

I literally haven't seen this stuff in half a century, but almost every piece instantly brings back memories.

Given my initial reluctance to explore the bag, was it a time capsule or a time bomb?

Cheers,

Lewis
