The Renwal take-a-part spaceman

The concept is great, turn the key on the belly of the astronaut and see him go into pieces... then build it back together. It is basically a 3-D puzzle and has been on my wish-list for quite some time. Still need to find him a helmet though... oh well, the hunt continues...

Sad news indeed...

The Italian NONO robot from Ulysse / Ulisse 31

Nono robot, ?, Ulisse 31, Italy, 1980's

This one is rare. I mean, I don't recall having seen another one. No idea who produced it (it is not licensed - no markings). 

It is 20 cm tall and has articulations at shoulders, wrists, legs and feet (not at the head which is one piece with the main body). Blown plastic, paper eyes...

It is bigger and brighter than his French counterpart seen here.

 If you have any extra information on this one, please give me a call.

VTOL Convair XFY-1 Vertical Riser

Landing aircraft without the need of big landing strips has always been in the mind of the military. This VTOL (=Vertical Take-Off and Landing) plane with its double propellors is an early attempt of the US Navy in this field. It really was one of the stranger designs in aeronautics.
