space.trucks Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Figures by Marx, Hing Fat, Boley, MPC and Unknown(s). Left to right: Marx "Operation Moon Base" Playset Figure; MPC from marked/numbered/matched set; Marx OMB fitted Mercury Capsule Figure; Unknown HK copy of MPC. We all had one ;] Mine actually lasted longer than the LEM, and I remember trying to fit its wheels onto my brother's 1/2 ton Army Man set truck & succeeding. This example + white cast astronaut believed to be from the mid 80s, with mismatched antenna which came with a numbered set of HF astronauts believed to be from the 70s. At some point they simplified the design so that it pointed straight up. For all their Space Toy production, LP never made a seated figure. Never thought about it until putting this together.
