Eldon No. 902 Cargo Plane Vehicles: Jeep - OD SP

The Jeep (and armoured car - which will be covered tomorrow) came with both the No. 92 Cargo Plane as well as the No. 957-100 Set USMC LCT. The Jeep is among my favorites due to the machine gun mounted on the rear deck ala 'Rat Patrol', a favorite TV show of mine back in the day. It measures: 2.25" (5.71cm) L x 1.5" (3.81cm) W x 1" (2.54cm) H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Processed Plastic / Tim-Mee Toys Galaxy Laser Team 54mm SP (1978) - Pt 9 FINAL Pose #8: Robot

We've reached the end of the line for this series on the original Galaxy Laser Team figures. This last-but-not-least figure is the little robot and is an obvious nod to Star Wars C3PO. The smallest of the bunch, it measures only 35mm H. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Eldon No. 850:98 U.S. Navy Cargo Plane Vehicles: Troop Transport Truck - Red SP

The No. 850:98 U.S. Navy Cargo Plane (the smaller of the two Eldon cargo seaplanes) came with three vehicles: Tank, Troop Transport Truck, and Jeep. As I don't have the Jeep, in tomorrow's post we'll start looking at the large vehicles that came with the larger plane.  This diminutive Troop Transport Truck measures: 2.125" (5.39cm) L x .75" (1.90cm) W x .875" (2.22cm) H. Like the tank, it is a one-piece casting with no rolling wheels or operating features. Enjoy! Opa Fritz














Processed Plastic / Tim-Mee Toys Galaxy Laser Team 54mm SP (1978) - Pt 8 Pose #7: Astronaut No. 2

The second of two generic astronaut poses included in the Galaxy Laser Team. He too is only 50mm. Enjoy! Opa Fritz














I photographed this guy not knowing who made him, later to find out he was part of the Galaxy Laser Team and I totally forgot! DOH!

Here he is posed with a Jaru figure for comparison
