In addition to the stuff we've seen, there were few other sci-fi/spacey things acquired at the recent Sandown Park toy fair, and we're looking at them now!
Just a bit of fun! There was an astronaut too, but he was too silly, this at least has the saving grace of being an alien, and they might actually look silly . . . except, Fermi says they probably don't exist!
Rocket USA 'Big Key', made in
"Chy'nah, very-very bad, biggly bad!".
TV related, so they ended-up here (see
Power Rangers below!), and probably my favourite cartoon as a kid, having Tom sliced into twenty sheets by a ham-prep' machine, only to pop-back whole a second later, priceless, when you are six! These are from the '92 movie, rather than the more recent one.
I had a feeling I'd already got one of these, when I found two on a stall, but grabbed the better one anyway, and in point of fact I'd actually blogged a previous purchase, over a decade ago;
And, it's a minter, so this one can be fired at some future date, in the interests of science, and original video-copy production!
Five Days Later - Fuck me, it's getting boring now Bushy! It took him both over ten years, AND five days to find!
On Etsy now;
https://projectswordtoys.blogspot.com/2026/06/seltzer-science-using-chemicals-found.html - How sad, how tragic, what a pathetic little man he's presenting as, what a twat?. The answer to his question ("I never had anything like this. You?"), is, of course - yes, I got one ten years ago, and grabbed another the other day, and you know it!
Nice carded set which ID's one of the sets which were still needing ID'ing,
Kidz Biz (double-zed, edgy, urban!), they are the ones also issued in capsule key-rings, and the cards are also tieing-in some of the accessories which were confusing me, re. the Micro Machine sets!
On the left a larger skeletal monster/alien type (imp/devil?) of unknown origin, on the right a figure sold as MUSCLE but which is part of the Franco-Italian knock-off line,
Cosmix, doing smaller-scale copies of figures from Panosh and Mattel, well covered here;
Altogether, an odd assortment, we'll have to see what turns up at Twickenham, in two weeks time?
