Imperial Toy Apollo Moon Exploring Set No. 304J

Got a bit too busy yesterday to post anything so let's try and catch up on our series of Apollo Moon Exploring posts. The set consists of a figure, a MMM sled variant, and a rather odd boxy looking vehicle.  There are two color variations that I'm aware of for the vehicle: orange and pink. When I took the vehicle out of the packaging it appeared to be little more than a non-descript lump of squarish plastic. SpaceX Central simply refers to this as a 'Moon Transport' - yes, but of what kind? After more scrutiny and a short mental game of  'what if?' it came to me that, were I to build a larger vehicle of this type with more detail, that box and cylinder-ish looking detail could in fact be - duh - boxes and cylinders. This could very well be the Lunar equivalent of the Army's Deuce-and-a-Half utility truck. I imagined the vehicle being used to haul cargo from the spaceship landing pads, to the cargo depot! There's even a rudimentary seat built into the casting on which I posed a seated astronaut (see pix below). Another option came to mind: a portable generator. That being said, I'm still partial to the Lunar Deuce-and-a-Half idea :-) Enjoy! Opa Fritz

This sled variant was already covered in Set No. 304F

The two color variations (L) Pink (R) Orange 

It measures 2 5/8" (6.66cm) L x 1 5/8" (4.12cm) W x 1 1/8" (2.85cm) H

Orange is up first

The astronaut is a 20mm figure taken from the Triang SpaceX Moon H.Q. complex. He fits nicely on here and shows to good effect how this vehicle could be used for transporting cargo.
