Pyro Set No. 268-2 49 4 All Plastic Space Ships

I absolutely love '50s era space art or science fiction art and the box art for Pyro's set 268-2 49 is wonderful. The space terminal reminds me of the wonderful Masonite creations made by Johillco back in the '50s. Those were featured in the book 'Blast Off' and are prohibitively expensive were one to become available today. However, Marx's Tom Corbett / Rex Mars playset buildings are a decent enough stand-in.

Last posted in 2012, here's another early attempt at showing these toys in their element, aka weltall (outer space/universe).

Last of my X-200's (except for the silver one in my boxed set). Next we'll cover the X-300.

Although silver is my very best favorite spaceship color, I absolutely love the vintage vibe these brightly colored ships have!

I decided to go ahead and essentially re-post the photos I originally posted back in 2012 in my expanded coverage of Pyro spaceships. For today's post though I added a few more views that weren't used back in 2012 - just for the heck of it. It measures: 7.25" (18.41cm) L x 3.5" (8.89cm) wingspan.
