HG Toys (Harett Gilmar) No. 867 Space Wars Playset REDUX - Now With Box

I posted this playset in 7 parts starting on 15 August, but at that time the photos of the box were culled from the Internet while all the contents were bits-&-pieces I had been buying over the past several years. Well, as luck would have it, a nearly complete set came my way recently and I can now post this thing with an original box. The set I bought had two missing Space Commandos which I added for the photos. As well, the set had two identical Giant Robot poses (albeit in two different colors), and for the photos I showed the two correct robots as shown on the box art.

The original box, now in my collection

The complete set

These are the two Giant Robots that came in my set. It's quite possible they were actually thrown into the box when it was being readied for sale and distribution. Until I had bought this set, I was unaware that HG made a blue version of this robot pose.

These are the two types of robots shown on the box art, and which I've shown in the photos

HG Toys No. 877 Alien Attack Playset - Pt 4 (Final) - Diorama Pieces

Today wraps up two different series as we post the final installment of the Marx 45mm 1st Series GI's and then wrap up our look at HG Toys Alien Attack Playset.

Each new space set from HG Toys brought new figures, or spaceships, or diorama pieces and this one was no exception. HG included a nice vacu-form terrain piece (which unfortunately I do not have), as well as this cool mountain fortress / space port cardboard diorama.

The cardboard spaceship is removable as shown in the photos further below.

The diorama measures: 13.25" (33.65cm) W x 8" (20.32cm) D x 12" (30.48cm) H with rocket  7.125" (18.09cm) H w/o rocket

Rocket: 7.25" (18.41cm) H x 5.25" (13.33cm) wingspan

Sans spaceship

The figures show the relative size of the diorama

The spaceship can be folded to stand up on its own but I didn't want to mess with it

Diorama Set-ups

These photos were an attempt to show what the cardboard diorama would look like when paired with my diorama board. A little Photoshopping helped some, but the brighter cartoony colors of the HG pieces are a bit too much of a contrast with the more muted tones of the diorama board.

I do like this one the best. Is that comet dust? Snow? Whatever you want it to be.

I may have an update on HG Toys figures in the coming weeks as I've located some different poses for the 35mm Space Commandos. But for now, let's do a quick recap of the figures I already have and which have been covered in more detail recently.
