Britains' Space soldiers...

These were also part of my childhood... Bright yellow - at least they did not get lost in the carpet like so many other unfortunates !

Stargard Space Craft, Britains, England, 1981

The ship was all genius toy-design : a weighted base in the transparent cockpit always kept the astronauts level. This type of design was reminiscent of spaceship design in the Yoko Tsuno books I read at that time...

"the Forge of Vulcan" - pg.16 detail - Roger Leloup

Bouba, Bouba... (Monarch, the big bear of Tallac)

 Do you remember this one ? Another "please let the young children weep" cartoon we all grew up with...

Moy (Jill)  BRINTÓI - Portugal, 1980's

Bouba (Jacky) BRINTÓI - Portugal, 1980's

Heavy equipment ?

Aliens Power Loader, Kenner, 1992, China

Alf Superstar !

Alf ("Alien"), Bully, 1988, West Germany

Doin' some computing, 1980's style !

Transformer Computerbot, MC Toy, Macau, 1980's

got to love the streamlined modern design !

...modernism seems so old today !

Vintage R2D2 lookalike kit with neck-extending feature ???

Robot, ? Japan ?, 1970's ?

And voilà !

Some of these toys are just ... out of this world, really. I suspect it is a Japanese kit from the late 70ies, but would love to have more information about it.

 

The Child... no, wait, not THAT ONE !

 

Anakin Skywalker, Hasbro, 1999, China

La Cucaracha robot

Musical Robot, HC (Hing Cheong), HONG KONG, 1980's

This one really plays the Mexican tune... all it's missing is a guitar and maybe a mustache to go with it !

The "U.N.SPACY" stickers come from Macross universe - so it should place this bot right in the same timeframe.
