eBay photos by the sellers.

Last Crater Crawler

The above photo is of the last Crater Crawler toy I bought on eBay. I won't be buying anything on eBay all next year because I need to pay off my Paypal debt. I plan to sell off most of my toy collection to pay for movie projects and to make room for my Moon Base Model and the large Atomic Toy Spaceship model for which this blog is named.

Operation Astronaut

John Eaton told me about this toy line by email after I asked him permission to use some of his photos.

The top three pics are by space publisher Darth. I found these pictures on the website Moonbase Central in a article by Woodsy in a Nov Friday the 13, 2009 post.

The bottom two photos I got off eBay and were used in a previous post on this blog (Johnny Apollo ). Photos by the eBay seller instalink. The Space Sled sold for $ 78.77.

The Real Space Crawler

Two photos from NASA I plan to use to to build a model for a video graphic novel.

Johnny, Mark and Jane figures

Photos pulled from off the web. Most of these photos if not all, I pulled from the blog;

Nuances of a Vintage Toy Collector eBay Junkie and Mid-Century Modern fan, created by

John Eaton. The above photos are his or pulled from eBay photos by him.

On December 24, 2011 John Eaton gave me permission to use his photos.

Johnny Apollo

The top three photos are by KB of the UK.

I found those photos on a Toy Message Board visibleinnards.org.

The other photos are from ebay. Didn't know until today that the toy line had anything beyond the figures. I may build some moon buggies and space crawlers based on these old Marx designs.

I hope to have a list of most of the photos soon. I don't own any of these toys.
