Marx Toys "Moon Base" Special in Plastic Figure & Playset Collector Magazine #34, February 1995



Been stuck in lovely Utica NY awaiting a vehicle inspection and have been catching up on toy project work. This video is a basic comparison/contrast between the two magazine issues below.


Side by side with Playset Magazine #84, which presents pretty much the same information in a more lyrical manner. My verdict: Get 'em both. Though the quest to find the story behind the design history of "Operation Moon Base" and it's subsequent iterations remains unfulfilled. 

Click here for Playset Magazine's very active website for back issue ordering & subscriptions. I want one, if that's an endorsement. Looks like good reference material for any collector of this sort of stuff, space or no.
