Pretty far out bundle of arrivals, most from a "Lot" acquisition which included a number of Marx figures from the 1950s & their "Operation Moon Base" playset ...

... And her <3 Obtained separately in an ongoing quest to make sure there are female presences in the fictional Space Art universe I'm crafting. Because what's the point of going off into outer space to have all manner of fascinating adventures without some girls around?

Center: Presumed Tim Mee Toys Pilot Figure, playset & age unknown.

Right: Tim Mee Toys US Air Force Base playset figure, age unknown.

Not entirely positive about the red figure yet. Tim Mee "Ground Crew" is the suggested grouping it belongs with but I am unfamiliar with whatever set that would imply.

Smooth base bottom is consistent with Tim Mee's lack of markings on any of their figures. You just have to know, see. Or ask someone who does which is the route I took in ID'ing the maker.

Superb!!! Not quite an astronaut but more than a flyboy. X-15 pilot maybe? would enjoy learning more.

This one ID'd as a later 50s 70mm "Planet Patrol" figure by Marx from their Rex Mars series.

Marx Toys' only Geiger Counter Guy spaceman.

Am convinced he is an original just from the amount of wear & soiling to its surface. This was someone's toy and they loved playing with it for years. Will do my best to rustle him up a replacement helmet.

Two recessed circular marks is consistent with Marx figures. Unless I be mistaken the Mexican made copies from the 90s have smooth base bottoms. Would enjoy learning any information readers may have about his authenticity!

Rex Mars "Space Port" female astronaut with fitted helmet. US quarter for scale. Her base has sort of a line or seam through the middle and am wondering if that is indication of repair or a casting mark. Any insights would be most welcome.

Fairly convinced the helmet is an original.

Put simply as possible, I like how she defies the usual Space Bimbo form and is a serious explorer or technician qualified for their position rather than cup size.

... And I love how the helmet optically distorts her countenance. 

Casting seam or indication of repair? Lemme know what you think! 

Can live with it either way, she's a treasure.

Had all six of the large Marx Apollo astronauts as a kid, slowly getting them back. Also set out their smaller sized equivalents, the white figures from either the "Giant Martian Landing" or "Galaxy Command" sets, the orange versions from "Star Station Seven". Preparing a separate post on just the larger Marx figures and their 70mm analogs. The five inch MPC guys at opposite are wearing flight suits with crash helmets, the Marx figures have pressurized EVA suits. Blue dude at center vended from the Cape Kennedy gift shop, obtained from its sole original owner, an awesome score with documented provenance ... For a plastic spaceman? Yes.

The red MPC guy with the pistol is different. Red dude at half-squat in front Russian made. White one next to him described as a Buck Rogers figure from Hungary. Larger Tim Mee Gemini Suit spacemen to the right.

Yeah, he's just different. Different helmet, different suit design, different facial characteristics. 

Tim Mee Gemini Suit guys reaching out with right hands. Silver and green variants believed to be of fairly recent production, the white one late 70s.

Still need to find six-inch versions of Flag Guy and Square Scoop Dude. Behind them are the biggest Hing Fat type spacemen I've encountered and are unknowns. If anybody recognizes them from being of a particular release or set PLEASE give the high-sign in comments. MPC and Tim Mee Geiger Counter guys at left for comparison. Metallic green figure by Archer, black figure wearing helmet by Ajax, and the gray one in middle back a recent copy by Glencoe.

Tan figures at upper right are Marx produced Japanese WW2 soldiers, next to them a Shadowbox Toys Nordic Alien female. It was late when shooting the pix & video, may add to this yet.
