Description :
This the was the toy rocket that spawned a million imitators! Friction-run Moon Rocket from Japanese manufacturer Masuya. Once the nose cone hits something, the "hydraulic" lift underneath pushes the rocket into an upright position and the hatch pops open to expose an astronaut getting ready to descend the drop-down ladder. Lift mechanism still works, but you need to tap the nose to make it start to lift to an upright position. The ladder drops down when it hits vertical, but the second section of the ladder needs to be dropped manually. (It appears there was a mechanism there to make it drop or someone created something of the sort - see last photo). Measures 15.5" H when standing upright. Condition is used with average wear but colors are still bright and vivid; we think a good scrub would greatly improve this piece's aesthetics! Please see photos for details.
