Electric Robot and Son Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Congrats Bill! Was that the one on ebay? Even though he is red he looks very minty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks Joe. He was on ebay and I have to admit, I paid more for him than any others. I recently purchased a new camera so I was able to take the photo in natural light, without the flash the red color doesn't pop so much. Other than minor rust on the wire legs, which I was able to clean, he's pretty minty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Found this clip while searching "Eisenhoppers;" the small one under the word "Acclaimed" looks like the space ship Jumpie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinman Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Looks like Tudor Rose was in the "Jumpie" business; wonder if they had any space-related offerings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
