DINKY KLINGON

That carded Spacex2 Lunar Orbiter that I got recently was part of a batch of stuff that was, largely, wrecked junk. 

There were a small number of things worth keeping, one was this Dinky Klingon Battle Cruiser. It needed a bit of repair, but it's a nice enough toy.

DECALS ON MY MIND

This little Kinder toy rang a bell. At least its round decal did [could be a helipad looking at it again].

The similar circular SpaceX Pippin roundel sprang to mind like this one on Bill's new Moon Buggy!

Anyone seen this SpaceX decal anywhere else?

THE GORGO COMICS

 Here's a 3 plus minutes YT resume of the Gorgo run of comics in the Sixties.

Did you have any of them?

DESERT JOHNNY AND THE KILLER CLONES

 Slim pickins down the boot sale today. Just a few comics and a couple of plastic men.

The small-sized comics you may well have had back in the day. Starblazer. Here's the small lot I got for a song, all with fabulous cover art.

What do you think?

The bundle also contained a few other titles.

This plastic male doll also joined me, but I've no idea who he is. Have you?

JAPANESE TIN TOYS IN A SPANISH CATALOGUE

I love this Spanish catalogue page of old Japanese tin toys.

Amazingly I found two of these toys, the top two, in an old box in a street around 1982, which was an amazing find. They both worked too, simply chucked out among old furniture waiting for the bin men.

The rest of the toys here are just fabulous. Anyone got any of these?

Sub Standard

Woodsy recently posted an article about a Gerry Anderson submarine vehicle 'World Navy Sub 77' which appeared in Stingray and other shows, which was built around a sixties blow-moulded toy racing car. The toy was unbranded, but quite distinctive in shape. As so often happens with the blog, one has just surfaced on ebay, so should anyone wish to try and recreate the sub, here's your chance!

The ebay listing or seller is in no way connected to Moonbase Central and is a private seller, so caveat emptor!

THE PALMER GORGO AND CHUMS! CAN YOU NAME THEM?

1964 gave us these US unbreakable movie monsters. Such was Gorgo's monster chops at the time he got top spot on the header card! Move over Gojira! [is there a Palmer Godzilla?]

Gorgy is in green top left. Palmer plastics of Brooklyn NYC made these brilliant mini-monsters. They came in many colours and I imagine are very collectable in the US as these are all auction pics.

Can you name them all here readers?

California's Diener Industries carried on the good work in rubber too - I think later - but I think they left out the British Godzilla!

Can you name all these? and is there a Japanese Godzilla?

Have any monster rubbers?
