Modern Toys - Explorer

This little friction explorer was produced in the early 1960`s (1962 by Masudaya (Modern Toys) in Japan. It was the first rocket shaped spacetoy that would be followed by a lot of battery operated bullitshaped rockets. This friction powered rocket produces a loud clicking sound as it moves forward. The litho is odd and so is the lithoed driver.

This Explorer is in very good condition with only minor playwear. Its complete and working as it should. There is no box, sorry.

Not a very common spacetoy and mostly found without its original box like this one. Still a rare variation and much searched for by spacetoycollectors.
