C is for CoMa's Cosmic Crazies

I was thinking of Lunatics, but these are actually Galenites! Lunatics were R&L cereal premiums!

It's late and I've got nothing ready for tomorrow (later today - it's that late!), there was supposed to be three Wild West posts here today, but I didn't get round to tagging them, then Brian sent me a lovely SCUBA-diver follow-up in the afternoon which I said I'd get out today - if I pulled my finger out, but I didn't pull my finger out, so it was . . . "What can I do quickly, in the early hours, that doesn't require research, fact-checking or lots of blurb?!"

The result is this box-ticker! Co-Ma, Coma, CoMa or Co.Ma.; I've seen all four. Space alien Galenites, these are copies of the bigger ones which were in a wacky fluorescent yellow-green 'atomic' transparent plastic. In small scale they were silver with a later issue in various colours (Kent has a red one . . . and yellow (?) on his site) and just the six poses I think?

They are similar too, and might well have influenced (but are much earlier than-) the blow-molded Hong Kong googlie-eyes/Giant mini's.

I had a small sample, but not all the poses and managed to get a set of six from France a while ago, this is the visual diagram of the sample as it stands, I still need a kneeling one with his top-knot' intact! Unlike the spacemen (who can be found in hard polystyrene) these are all soft polyethylene - box ticked!

I've got to P on the tag-list refresh, but this post reminds me I must break the 'Space' tag up properly . . . maybe later today?
