STAGE III MOON EXPLORATION SERIES
-Moon Explorer (carded)
-Moon Prospector (carded)
-Mobile Moon HQ (carded)
-Moon Patrol Cricket (carded)
-Moon Exploration Center

Origins for this unmanned Lunar exploration vehicle can be found here on SpaceX Central. I've beem hangin' out at Moonbase Central a lot lately. Bill Bulloch (allias Wotan) has been photographing a phenomenal number of small sized space toys that fit in well with all these Triang/GA toys. AND he's been putting them in nice moonscape settings, something I haven't yet done. Soooo, I gotta get off my duff and start taking something other than 'studio' shots. But not today - gonna be busy! LOL The rebranding from Triang's version to Golden Astronaut got a little confusing. This toy was the Triang 'Prospector' and was rebranded as the GA 'Moon Explorer'. The Triang 'Explorer MEV2' was rebranded to the GA 'Moon Prospector' (covered in the next installment). It measures 4" (10.16cm) L (small wheel to small wheel) x 3" (7.62cm) W (large wheel to large wheel) x 2" (5.08cm) H Enjoy! Opa Fritz
