Description :

JH Miller Mfg.’s “Space Invaders” series from 1958 are some of the rarest and most highly sought-after small figurines for those interested in sci-fi collecting. Our client appears to have a mix of original pieces from Miller and several 1990s recasts.

There are 2 Mercury figures in this lot. We believe the left one in the first photo to be an original piece as the plastic injection is obvious in the twin holes on the base and there is metallic paint residue. The plastic is also “waxy” and very light. Note that the right arm has become detached at what appears to be an earlier repair (It will stay on as shown in the first photo but needs permanent repair.)

The figure on the right appears to be a recast but is not a Julus Lopez as it is in metal and quite heavy. It is signed on the bottom.

Please see pictures to determine condition/original status for yourself.

Additional Space Invaders in Lots #3, #4, #28, #29, #45, #46, #63, #64, #82, #83, #84, #131, #132, #144, #145, #170, and #171.
