Curtains for the Spaceman's Bedroom





Genuine barkcloth drapes with colorful depictions reminiscent of the 1950 movie Destination Moon.

Magic Outer Space Cape

Where would the junior spaceman be if he didn't have a styling cape like this one? With this, all one would need is a bubble helmet, a disintegrator ray gun and and a rampaging horde of Martians.

But what's this? The small box at the spaceman's feet reads "This Plastic Cape Is A Toy And Has No Magic Qualities."

Bummer.

Ultra-Ultra-Rare Spacemen




Well kids, you're going to have to sell a lot of newspapers to save of for this set of spacemen figures - but boy, take a look at 'em!

This is a whole set of mold making masters of pristine detailed figures made by Ferriot Brothers, the talent behind the absolute best sculpted figures for toy maker Marx. The solid metallic figures were sent around to factories to make the soft molds that the plastic toys were cast from. These didn't see a high production run, and others like the "Tomik Cannon" never saw production at all. Look, they even still have their factory identification tags attached.
