Nope....solid sofubi all the way. I love it, though. It definitely makes you want to own more rocket toys! |

That is a very cool piece! I remember seeing it once at a store, it was a pretty impressive size. |

this reminds me a lot of a little Super Jetter in his jet car I have:  cool toy, and I really dig this pilot ace one. I'd really like more little-guy-in-a-rocket toys. there's bound to be more. |

That's a cool one, PV. What is it? I'll post up a pic of the rocket next to something so you'll get a sense of scale. It's a pretty good size. Were there a fair amount of vinyl rocket toys with pilots made in the old days? I only see the tin ones. |

It's about 8" long, so actually bigger than it looks. gatchabert wrote: Were there a fair amount of vinyl rocket toys with pilots made in the old days? I only see the tin ones I'd love an answer to this question. I'm interested to know if rockets like this were a common theme in older vinyl toys. |

@ toybot - there is a full color version that I've been chasing forever, but I've only ever seen it as "sold out" on the nostalgic heroes website. now the pic isn't even up anymore. @ Ralph - isn't it fun?

Here's the space vehicle from the Marusan Tederos line (vinyl). You can't see it very well in the picture, but there is a little guy sitting in the cockpit. This is probably about 8 inches long. I also have a submarine type vehicle and a drill dozer from this series.
