BIG, is the first word that comes up when you see this spacevehicle. Made in Japan by Alps in 1966 this Lunar Explorer features strange actions. when switched on, it drives through the "lunardunes" that can be taken easy with those big wheels :). Suddenly it stops and the cabine with the 2 astronauts that are in control of the vehicle comes down to the ground and the clear dome opens. After closing the dome, the cabine goes up again and the Lunar Explorer "shifts" into first gear again and heads out to new explorations.
All the time the big antenna on top spins with flashing lights, the vehicle itselfs has also flashing lights and of course there is spacesound.
Alps Lunar Explorer is made mostly out of tin that is really beautifully detailed. The explorer is in excellent condition with only minor playwear. The batterybox is clean and the explorer works 100 % with all functions working. It comes complete with its original antenna. The box is original but not in the best shape. Its complete and has some inside repairs to keep it strong.
The artwork is still very good visable but there is a lot of wear on the box.
A rare spacetoy that is often found without the box and detachebel antenna.
