Had many astronaut sets (those larger sets sold in clear plastic bags). Just a small note though - the US flag should have the canton (union w/stars) towards the hoist.

For some reason it gives me an idea for Cthulhu game set on the moon. Can the astronauts in the buggy get back to warn the others at the base before horrible tentacly death reaches them? Will the escape ship be ready in time? Why DO the astronauts inexplicably carry side arms?Mr Saturdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03092917415087033316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1180866730410451796.post-2925110985496719272011-01-28T13:05:14.494-08:002011-01-28T13:05:14.494-08:00Paul,

Of course my astronauts fought the Japs, did salvage work underwater, and helped the Matchbox British Commandos. Never painted a single one of them though.
