Vintage Rare Tinplate Battery Operated Interplanetary Space
Fighter, Nomura Toys, Japan. VGiB
A nice rare vintage tinplate battery operated Interplanetary Space
Fighter Toy with blue body, white nose, red rear fins and fold-in wings,
black and silver detail, piloted by an astronaut in a gold space-suit who
fires a front mounted gun with a green plastic canopy, made by the
Nomura Toys (T.N.) Co. in Japan in the 1950’s, with original box.
In very good working condition with some playwear, the battery
operations work well – when switched on the Space Fighter moves
with mystery action and space noise, the pilot moves the gun from
side to side and the gun also lights. These actions repeat until
it is switched off. The tinplate is clean and rust-free, with some
marks and small dents mainly to one side of the nosecone.
The battery box has a small area of surface rust and when
batteries are inserted it needs to be done carefully to ensure
that good connections are made. When this is done, the toy
works well, as shown in some of the photographs.
The Space Fighter measures 12 inches long by 6 wide (inc. rear
wings) and 5.5 inches tall inc. pilot and is marked with the
Nomura Toys “T.N.” in a diamond trade mark and “Made in
Japan” underneath and on the rear radio. Also comes
with a very good original box which has some playwear
and general marks, but is fully marked and has great
space graphics on all sides.
A rare space toy that does not come up too often and
especially hard to find in such good boxed condition - would
make a great addition to a space or battery toy collection.
