THE DAWN OF VINTAGE SPACE TOYSMore than any other category, here at Alphaville, vintage space toys play an im-portant role, not only in spirit, but in design and imagination. In 1950, sandwiched between Goddard's pioneering development of rockets and the launch of Sputnik, a little movie,"Destination Moon", hit the screens. In a big way what ensued was a decade that peaked in the number of space toys with an astounding eye towards beautiful graphics and packaging. |
