Multiple Toymakers Golden Astronaut - Stage I Lift Loader

The original SpaceX version of this was called "Forklift 7" while this one was rebranded as "Lift Loader" under Multiple's banner. You'll notice that the driver is wearing a spacesuit. In SpaceX's artwork the card simply shows what appears to be the Moon in the background. In Multiple's artwork an actual launch site is depicted which could be on the Moon, thus the need for a spacesuit. The Lift measures 3" (7.62cm) L x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) W x 2" (5.08cm) H and has an operating lift platform. Its origins are here on SpaceX Central. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

 I've included shots of two different cards sporting different price tags. If only these were so cheap now!!

Fill'er up!

It was hard to get a real good close-up but you can plainly see he's wearing a spacesuit

Triang SpaceX Forklift 7 (Golden Astronaut Lift Loader Substitute)

Today's Triang SpaceX suitable substitute is the Golden Astronaut version of SpaceX's Forklift 7. The card below is the reverse of the Needle Probe and you can see where the SpaceX version is a light blue with "FORKLIFT 7" along the side. Origins and more information can be found at SpaceX Central. However, The photo on the SpaceX Central website does show the same color for the SpaceX version as the Golden Astronaut version with the only difference being the appliqué. Also, I find it odd that this forklift is part of the SpaceX Earth Base series and Golden Astronauts' Launch Site series, yet the driver is wearing a space suit! hmmm has Earth's atmosphere been poisened so badly in the future that one needs a space suit - or Hazmat gear - to go outside? Bleak possibility. Until that happens - Enjoy! Opa Fritz
