Tinman Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The larger version of these figures are tough to find but I was able to obtain this set, each standing at around 1 inch; they're made by the same company as Brady's and are marked with a small version of the LP logo and H. K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Found these pics on the Moonbase Central site which show a connection to these figures. The top photo has the "LP" logo in the lower-left corner and the actual figures in the top-center of the card. After seeing these I realized there's a 6th figure which wasn't included in the set I purchased. And also this one: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinplate6 Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Nice! I've never seen them on the backing card, only loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 This set was recently up for auction but didn't sell; to me it looks homemade with the "graphics" of the card done in craft paper. Who knows, we've seen stranger things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, we've seen stranger things! Could this possibly be from inside a 1960s vending machine showing the figures you might win after you deposit your coin... (?)

Tinman Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Interesting thought Mike, it certainly has a handmade look to it but then there's the vacuformed aspect to the card. I'm guessing the card is about 8 inches tall...maybe for inside a gumball machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Here's the cover and an interior page from the 1979 issue of Hong Kong Toys: Close-up of the center, showing their "new" space toy line: and the logo and company name: The "LP Logo" belongs to the LIK BE PLASTIC METAL FACTORY CO.,LTD. Perhaps they considered LIK BE to be one word, which accounts for the "L" in the logo. If that's the case, the "P" would represent PLASTIC(?).

ervino Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Here are another version of the LP "robots": about 5 cms (~2") high, with a (keychain???) hole on top of their head, and fluo colors (beside the pink, I've seen them in green and orange).

Joe K. Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 1979 - Vinyl Moon Men as seen in this 1979 MG / Dillon Importing Co. wholesale catalog: These are the two inch tall versions with suction cups. Can anyone post a photo of the actual figures?

Alain Lapointe Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I think they may be these, derived from the LP LD aliens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
