THE ASTRONAUT MARS PIONEER - MAKER? - HONG KONG

The partner of the Lunar Explorer. This plastic wind up stepover astronaut is clearly inspired by the Apollo program. The orange astronaut with oxygen tanks has a comic look which contrasts with the serious artwork on the box. Walking action with moving arms. The other unusual feature of this robot is the triangular window box with artwork for this version of the toy on one panel and artwork for the Lunar Explorer on another panel: they shared the same box.

Featured in the 1971 AHI catalog.
