Brian.. Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 Topolino has many differences, chest panel, litho, nose, eyes. These are clearly photos of actual toys, not artist's impressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe K. Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 . This catalog has come around again, this time with additional pages pictured: Moon Challenger Apollo X Previously Timeline dated to a 1970 Marshall Field Christmas catalog. The version used for this catalog picture appears to have a blue nose cone, not a red one as on the production pieces. Super Sonic GunHere's the Database entry. Is it possible that the English language box named it Super Sonic Gun? Anyone have a picture of that box? Rocket Wonder L, Space Rocket Solar X-8, Rocket Lunar 7, Lunar Bulldozer The Lunar 7 Rocket and Lunar Bulldozer have previously been Timeline dated to a 1969 Nomura catalog. The Wonder L and Solar X-8 are NEW to the Timeline. Moon Scout with 8 Legs, Space Pacer The Moon Scout has previously been Timeline dated to a 1969 Nomura catalog.
