Of late I've been in Processed Plastic mode. Today, and for our next post, we'll take a look at yet another of PP's space race toys. This was one I had hoped to feature for the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landing but I was waiting for parts. I had only a partial rocket and was lucky enough to find a 'donor' toy I could cannibalize from to make one complete rocket. Like the USAF Missiles posted a week or so ago, this too has a spring loaded 'launch' mechanism. Press down on the Command Module/Service Module assembly and it engages the two latches seen at either side of the rocket. Press the latches inward and the CM/SM flies into the outer reaches of space - or at least about 12' or so LOL. Inside the CM is a removable floor with three astronauts. The toy measures 12 1/2" (31.75cm) H x 2 5/8" (6.66cm) overall diameter. Enjoy! Opa Fritz and Oma Bettina
