GIANT Plastics Corp. (aka GIANT of Hong Kong) / Helen of Toy Space Toys - Pt 27 Flying Saucer - Yellow SP

The GIANT flying saucer is a nice touch to their space line of toys. It measures 4.75" (12.06cm) diameter x 1.875" (4.76cm) H, is hollow underneath, is topped by a clear plastic dome. The dome on mine is more rounded than what was shown in the Plastic Figure and Playset Collector (No. 57) magazine. Mine also has a bit of damage. I photographed mine with an astronaut in it instead of an alien, but that was mostly to show size comparison, vs trying to set the thing up for an invasion! Enjoy! Opa Fritz

It was very difficult for me to get a decent shot of the 'GIANT Made in Hong Kong' markings underneath the hull.

Mark Hamp Homemade Flying Saucer

During this past week my collection of vintage space figures as well as my own little Star Fleet have grown with the help of fellow collector Mark Hamp. In one of my fb (Meta) posts I mentioned being short one figure for one of my space figure series and Mark said he had an extra to sell! Yay! He also referred me to a fleaBay link to one of his 'Buy It Now" auctions for a complete set of figures from yet a different manufacturer. Again, Yay! After buying his figures he sent a note saying a little bonus would be include. Again, Yay! But what would it be? When the package arrived there was this nifty little Flying Saucer included. Cool! It's a simple affair and appears to be made from a European electric switch plate as we don't have round switch plates here in the States. The legs are wall anchors and the dome appears to be from those vending machine 'eggs' which hold little toys. It's only 3" (7.62cm) in diameter x 1.125" (2.85cm) H. Enjoy!

The GIANT of Hong Kong figure was the piece I was missing from the collection that Mark kindly sold to me.

From The Forgotten Foto Files: Off The Wall Toys Alien & Saucer No. 04209 (2017)

 Here's a cool toy I picked up four years, took photos, and promptly forgot about! Arrrrgh! 😆

This flying saucer from Off The Wall Toys is a simple affair. You get the craft and a glow -in-the-dark green alien: no lights, no moving parts, that's it - simple! I love it. It measures 4" (10.16cm) in diameter and is 4" high and so is just the right size to display or play alongside many other space toys. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

The bubble top is removable

Here, a Lido alien is posed alongside for scale comparison.

Zee Toys Mysterious Invaders UFOs #B-2948-4 (1978)

After I had bought the Blue Box Space Shuttle, I latched on to this carded Zee Toys version labeled as a UFO vs. a shuttle, and to my surprise it was exactly the same in every respect except for the name 'Zee Toys' replacing 'Blue Box' on the underside! I kept mine on the card and that's how it got photographed - a tad awkward but if it ends up getting sold then it's best staying on the card. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
