Some new acquisitions including a Space Koala

Well I've actually managed to acquire some more Australian Space Toys including one I never thought I'd see as I'd only seen a photo of an advert for it.

I picked up the Atom Tug even though it's futuristic in it's name only. Basically a red painted Putt Putt boat even the box has no artwork to add to it. The one I didn't expect to see is the Australian version of the Marx  Twin Gun Spaceship. The last one is a bit off the wall as it's a Plastic Money box in the form of a sitting down Koala in a "Space" outfit. The Koala interestingly has the name Phasco on it's feet which relates it to series of books for Primary school children about Australian animals. The book Phasco the Koala came out in 2002 so I suspect sometime after this the money box was made.

At the moment I can't post pictures so here are the links to the auctions

I'm still waiting on getting some more Moldex Space men and a Space Flyer. I'm particularly wanting to see if this is the Tudor Rose Space Flyer or an Aussie copy - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/171739088384?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Here are close ups of the space fighter. You can see on the underside of the right wing (left side of 2nd photo) the matching model number.

If I find a spare you'll be the first to know. :biggrin:

 

What really amazed me about the double gun spaceship is it's condition. With most of the small Australian made ships I get there's more than a fifty fifty chance of there being damage.
