Random New Old Stock Plastic Space "Rack Toys": PLONG! Jean Hoefler Astronauts, Hong Kong Spacemen, Vintage Parachuting Astronaut


Yeah ... this was a good Saturday. And none of these cost all that much. I'm not interested in the tin lithograph clockwork ejection module firing Yonezawa classics. Maybe someday, but my interest is in plastics, rack toys, Made in Hong Kong, and the Golden Astronaut legacy.


Made in West Germany somewhere's between 1968 and 1975. Interesting packaging concept in that there were six different backgrounds, and by piecing them together the collector could amass a little diorama set. 



Plug-Head Pod-Foot "Swoppet" style spacemen, with a 1978 date helpfully included on the backing card.



I want to open this up soo bad.




Forms by Marx, likely cast by Multiple Toymakers, no date but likely 1970 - 1975 or so just based on the typesetting.


All marked Made In Hong Kong. So they are bootlegged Marx guys.



Would like to pay a visit to this "Odd-Lot" ...


There's more ...
