Avon "Space Mission Decanter" + Bubble Toy Space Ships

[space.trucks]

This stuff is hilarious. Would never have known that space vehicles + soap go together and yet it kind of makes sense.

 

Had to have this thing and apologies if it is a subject which has been covered before.

 

"Containers Made In Italy."

 

... All I can say is that it was a damn sight bigger than I'd expected and most hilariously still has the soap inside. Never used! LOL, and heavy with all that liquid soap in there.

 

Opened this up and was like, WTF ???

 

 

I guess that's the star drive section. Softer flexible shampoo bottle type plastic. Durable & sturdy.

 

 

Crew module, and the labels are the only kind of markings on the forms. Leaving them be for now.

 

At current the largest spaceship in my collection. And it's a bubble bath container. With shampoo.

 

Still full ... Is 30 year old bubble bath safe to use?? I could chew some 50 year old PLONG bubble gum while taking a bath.

 

Damnedest part is, that's actually cool .... But I wonder if the labels should both be on the same side? Only one way to fit the two stages together, so.

 

Some decent moulding work there. Was wishing this was the upright configuration but a protrusion on what would be the the bottom always makes it tip over on its side. Then again if you're floating it in a bathtub it doesn't matter, just like it space. Pretty cool.

 

 

Docking maneuver. Haven't done anything with it yet either just because takes up this entire surface, which I use as my diorama platform.

 

 

These are the "unknowns", and are bubble blowing toys obtained from a vendor based in Greece: Lower one stamped "Made In China" on upper nacelle. One fills them with a bubble solution and blows from the end opposite the yellow ring. Though in my estimation as space ship designs both have their forward ends pointing towards the 8 here. Pretty sure.

 

Lower one stamped "Made In China" on rounded section. No other markings on either.

 

Like yeah, those are cool too. 

 

What convinced me to give those a try was this thing, 2018 Hot Wheels creation called Bubble Matic that in my opinion is absolutely 100% based on a UFO form. Has to be.

 

The ring fixture flips up, you dip it in your bubble solution and go to town. Also looks like a radar fixture and definitely sports retro Art Deco rocket car lines. Though if you ask me Mattel dropped the ball by not having a reservoir in the vehicle for the solution. Only part that is metal is the base and according to Race Grooves a surprisingly effective track performer. Just, LOL.

 

... It's like, I'm sorry, but that's cool. 

 

Task Force Bubblebath, on Operation Clean Rinse.

I've never seen the Avon soap and shampoo ship but I like it!

Found that the Avon item has some siblings, as this "Space Mission Decanter"...

 

 

...or the "Space Invaders Dispenser"!

very coOL...I like the Space Patroller decanter...SKYLAB was the thing in the 70's and this decanter is  a clever  resemblance without much deviation in manufacturing them....even the cap is well done as a rocket nozzle.
