The orange tip is "after market".

All three of these Chinese "rockets" bear the MF-742 designation:

The Friction Flying Boat and the Great Flying Boat appear to be the exact same toy. Only the boxes are different.

I suspect the Friction Flying Boat was released first.

The robot piloted Space Patrol is marked on the bottom: MF 742 Metalmania

I've revised the master list accordingly.

From this recently ended listing:

Space Gun Double Barrel Friction MF 861

Anyone care to translate the Chinese words?

MF 196 - Sparkling Pistol

 

[Fineas J. Whoopie]

At least a couple of KO toys have a catalog number or as they are marked "series numbers". These are both variations of the Yoshiya Flying saucer with Space Pilot. The relatively common Sky Patrol - #5030 and the extremely rare Space Patrol X-15 - #5110. As of now these are the only KO boxes I know of with numbers. I will keep an eye out for more. By the way, I did notice that the flap on the X-15 box seems to be upside down.

Space Gun (Double Barrel) MF 229. 23" long.

The end of the box displays the "MF 229" designation.

I received an email from Gilbert about the Yonezawa numbers. I'll post it in full, including the photos he sent. I'm sure the information and corrections will be helpful:

 

 

 

I have some doubts about the box numbers on Yonezawa box to help to complete the timeline

 

There is no numbers on the Directional and Buzzer

 

Not much on the Mr Robot too as modern Robot that seem to be a Yonezawa version

 

I find strange the Martin the Martian number 810 in the list. The box shows a 827 number

 

Lunar Robot is 828

 

Lunar Explorer Delta 55 is 812

 

Fire rocket 789

 

Atom Gun  881

 

Moon Patrol 11 item 755

 

Flying Saucer item 758

 

Astroscout is number 3192, and X-27 is item 805,  but Astroscout is also a Frankonia toy

 

If there is not item before the number that can mean it’s not the same catalogue

 

In the Winky family there is only the Telephone Robots have numbers and even 2 numbers item 800 and 4347

 

But some blue Smoking Spacemen are also item 800 lol

 

And the grey Smoking Robot box Yonezawa has no number

 

Too many toys have the same item number

Thanks, Gilbert, for the additional info. I've added the numbers to the master list.

I'm at a loss to explain the incorrect 810 Martin the Martian listing. I've revised the master list accordingly.
