Sears – Arctic Explorer Sled

This ultra rare and scarce space toy was made exclusive made for Sears ( Usa/Canada importer of toys)  The real production of this toy was made by Yonezawa in Japan in the early sixties. This impressive space toy is one that is very hard to find in this condition and I can not remember i ever saw it before in this unplayed with condition. I found the toy recently. it was part of an Italian collector who had many rare and scarce space toys and I was able to grab this one out of the collection along with some other very interesting space toys and robots.

The toy is impressive. A space sled that is made to hoover through the snowy parts of outer planets, to explore the surroundings and to invest alien live.
Build out of tin, powered by 2 D-cell batteries with stop and go action, spinning propellers, blinking lights, rotating antenna, space sound and an extra pod/ mini explorer for the astronauts to leave the spaceship and explore the surroundings.

There are not many more toys that could play with the child’s imagination than this sled, fantastic design and awesome play fun.

The condition of this toy is all original and complete and the toy is absolute in near mint condition but… its currently not working. When batteries are installed the toy lights up and tends to fire up but whatever i try.. I can not get it back running. I simply dont want to open this toy up to get it going again.. it will only do harm to the bodywork..so i decided to leave it as it is..
The sled got its original small sled that hangs at the back ( working ! 🙂  and original antenna and props..

The box i rough and has been repaired roughly, glued on a new base.. it strong again now but the box is rough.. still its the original box !
