Yonezawa – XM-12 Moon Rocket

The most desirable battery operated rocket was build in the year 1956 by Yonezawa in japan and is called XM-12 Moon Rocket. this battery operated rocket just has it all and must have given the children in the fifties lots of playfun. Yonezawa`s Moon Rocket has a few uncommon features that you never see with any other spacetoy… A special hatch in the nose section of the rocket that can be opened so that you can replace the bulb in the noses ection. at the rear, where the engine is located, there is also a hatch that can be opened to replace the engine lights. There are 2 astronauts hidden under a clear canopy that are behind a beautiful lit dashboard.
Further the rocket has a GO and GO function and can be steered by the nosewheel. you switch it on and it starts to ride in the desired direction.

The engine is beautiful lit with a sort of rotating drum at the inside that lights the gels between the removable fins…. as you can see, there is enough to explore with, around and about the XM-12. i found this rocket many years ago on a trip through Italy ( Rome ) where i bought it from an old collector who sold parts of his collection because he had to move to smaller house. I spent 2 days there and bought a lot of other gems there… which.. you could have seen on my site over the years or that will show up soon ! 🙂

The condition of the rocket is near mint and I can not remember i have ever seen a nicer example of this rocket. This rocket is really in absolute stunning condition. works fine and strong with all the actions ! Accompanied by a very nice reproduction box. Hard to find near mint example in full working condition !
