Triang Spacex / Golden Astronaut "SPACE COMMAND SHIP" New On Card + Loose Example




Badass thing, known as the "Space Patrol" ship as a Spacex range toy and "Space Command Ship" as packaged here for the Golden Astronaut line. Looks like a derivation on the SR-71 "Blackbird" design, but let's refer to Commodore Vreede's Triang Spacex / Golden Astronaut website for data:


... Captured by the Daleks?? What???


Huh ... Interesting.


Note the early framing method for the blister's inner area.


SUCH excitement. Oh man.


The set's Gerry Anderson in a non- standard LP pose.


No markings on his base but definitely a product of LP Toys.


As it turns out I'd already had a VG+ condition Space Command Ship, and indeed the real hankering for the set was based on the unused sprue of rockets.



I want those.


My Spacex "Base Patrol Cricket" also has a sprue of what appear to be identical rockets.



This "Apollo Moon Exploring" No.304L also has a sprue of unused rockets for its Major Matt Mason Laser Cannon rocket launcher.


Shape and size appear to be about the same.


Grrrr!!! I WANT MY ROCKETS ...






ISN'T THIS EXCITING!!!!
