Blue Shield Apollo Capsule Set

This header bag set of an Apollo LEM with figures from Blue Shield is fairly common, enough so that I was able to latch on to two for reasonable prices. As miniature space sets go it's nothing spectacular, a nice little LEM and six figures. The title on the header is misleading in that there is no Apollo capsule, but rather the Lunar Excursion Module. Included are six figures in two colors which are just a smidgen smaller than their Imperial Toy/LP counterparts. Enjoy! Opa Fritz

Typical for the period, all the figures are in flight suits rather than the bulkier moon suits worn by the Apollo astronauts

Here's a comparison shot showing the Blue Shield alongside the Imperial Toy LEM and figure

The figures included come in a silver-gray and yellow SP with the yellow figures being ever so slightly larger than the the others yet all of them are a tad smaller than their Imperial Toy/LP counterparts(some of my shots turned out a tad blurry but everything is packed away again and I don't fewel like un-packing and re-taking pics - sorry!)

Imperial Toy Apollo Moon Exploring Set No. 304L

Today brings us to the conclusion of the Imperial Toy Apollo Moon Exploring photo essay series with Set No. 304L. The set includes 1 figure, yet another MMM sled variant, and a downsized spring-loaded  MMM Firebolt Space Cannon complete with shells - see SpaceX Central. I ended up with three sets as shown below, each with a different figure pose. The next logical step in this process would be to photograph these on a Moonscape or whatever but at the rate I'm going at around here that may take awhile :-) and I have some other toys I want to post. Until Then - Enjoy! Opa Fritz

This sled measures 1 1/8" (2.85cm) L x 1" (2.54cm) wheelbase x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) H

The space cannon measures 3 3/4" (9.52cm) L x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) W x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) H
