Ranger Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I got this atom rocket 7 from eBay,a very reasonable £28. Anyway,Looked at the ones in the data base but this one seems to have the conical long red engines similar to the ones found on the non fall moon explorer? Possible for the wrong parts to be fitted at time of manufacture? I will check the timeline. Maybe it's a known variation? I don't usually buy space vehicles so have less knowledge of them than I do robots. I am sure someone here will have the quick answer.Sorry re photo,kindle again. Oh,the writing on it is in yellow,it's red on the ones in the database. I also picked up this nice Flash Space Patrol Z 206,again around £26-£28,a bargain I thought. Once again,sorry re photos,Damn forward facing kindle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe K. Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 . There were a number of variations of the Atom Rocket 7. A google search yielded this link: http://www.fallenstars.co.uk/Fallenstars/ATOM_ROCKET_7_BLUE_VERSION_-_MASUDAYA.html . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 It's definitely a known version. I've noticed that the versions of the Masudaya non-fall rockets with the longer tail pipes also have the more round cockpit windows while the versions with the shorter tail pipes have the more bean shaped windows. Sweet deal though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robotnut Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Here's mine, with a different litho and a tin headed spaceman. I can't see in your picture, but does your Spaceman have a tin or rubber head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Hello Darryl Mine has a plastic/rubber head. Your spaceman looks green,mine is white. I also noticed mine has a yellow band surrounding the cockpit. What is the grey coloured piece on the side of yours in the photo? Is that an on/off switch maybe? Thanks for posting,you have some nice Space toys there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilroy Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I am liking those long engines, both my atom rocket 7 and planet explorer have the short ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robotnut Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Yes there are quite a few differences and that is the switch. The side jets are different, so is the color of the name Atom Rocket 7. All of my space toys have been boxed up for over 4 years, so I really can't remember what I have. I have a 20 by 40ft room in the basement that will someday be the toy room, when I get all the other jobs done. Here are a few more from the old house...
