Nomura - Lunar Captain

Landing on the moon was a big inspiration at the end of the 1960`s. This Lunar Captain was build in the late 1960`s (1969) by Nomura in Japan. Another innovative Japanese space toy. simulates lunar docking to the landing module! Battery operated 13 inch long tin and plastic lunar lander and transport move along the floor with blinking lights and sounds. Vehicle then stops and lifts, Apollo capsule disengages and begins to spin. After several rotations capsule docks with base to resume voyage. A very attractive toy.

Nomura Lunar Captain is in excellent/near mint condtion and is build out of plastic and tin parts. It looks that it has not been played much with and spent most of its time as dead stock on a shelf. All the actions work perfect but the lifting lever that has to lift the whole toy to almost vertical position is a very fragile part and has sometimes a hard time to lift the whole spaceschip vertical and needs therefore a little help but works ok then. It comes complete with original box and inserts. This fragile and complex working scarce spacetoy had a VERY low survivalrate and is hard to find in complete and working condition.

Very Rare and hard to find in this condition.
