Here's an interesting set from Multiple Toymakers: the No. 1213 Space Case mini-carry-all playset from 1970. By this time more and more toy companies were offering carry-all playsets but I found this one to be a tad unusual in that it utilized the smaller 25mm figures. MPC / Multiple seemed to have largely steered clear of tiny sets although there were several different themes using this same case but with different graphics and figures and accessories. I counted about 30 figures - although it was tough given that so many were hidden from view. You'll notice a Gerry Anderson clone in here as well, the Thunderbird 5 Space Station - although the toy included here has the number '6' on it. The tiny car is a clone of the Billy Blastoff Space Car (Many Thanx to Woodsy over at Moonbase Central for identifying that). When closed the soft vinyl lithographed case only measures 8" (20.32cm) D x 9" (22.86cm) W x 1 3/4" (4.44cm) H. When opened it stretches out to 17 1/2" (44.45cm) D. This is an interesting set, and fleshing it out with some 25mm aliens and some other small space vehicles - let's say from Golden Astronaut or LP - would make this a truly action packed fun little playset. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
