Multiple Toymakers Golden Astronaut - Stage I Lift Loader

The original SpaceX version of this was called "Forklift 7" while this one was rebranded as "Lift Loader" under Multiple's banner. You'll notice that the driver is wearing a spacesuit. In SpaceX's artwork the card simply shows what appears to be the Moon in the background. In Multiple's artwork an actual launch site is depicted which could be on the Moon, thus the need for a spacesuit. The Lift measures 3" (7.62cm) L x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) W x 2" (5.08cm) H and has an operating lift platform. Its origins are here on SpaceX Central. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

 I've included shots of two different cards sporting different price tags. If only these were so cheap now!!


















Fill'er up!


It was hard to get a real good close-up but you can plainly see he's wearing a spacesuit

  1. Not only wearing a spacesuit but the helmet has the Ancient Egyptian look of the original Battlestar Galactica helmets.
