Again this is an example of the creative Japanese minds. Modern Toys Space Capsule 6 is one of the harder to find spacetoys in the capsule and rocket catagorie. Build in the early 1960`s In Japan, this Capsule has some unusual actions.
First it has the famous bump&go action, there isa pilot that moves to control the spaceship but the most beautifull effect is for sure the great dome in front AND the spacenoise this capsule makes.
I heard this noise on an other spaceship before (Space pioneer) So I assume that this capsule uses the same method to produce sound. ( a mechanical \"blowingsystem\" with a build in whistle and push/pull barthat produces this \"up and down\" spacesound.)

But thereis more and there is a lot to tell about thisdesign...The pre-Mercury period in American space history is an interesting one. This was the time in which the best and the brightest were determining exactly how to make space vehicles
viable and safe for the astronauts they be carrying. The public wouldnt get a tasted for NASA`s designs until late 1961 and early 1962, when the first Mercury capsules were put on public display.
Prior to this, of course, the designs of the future were an exercise in complete subjectivity, as Capsule 6, by Masudaya, demonstrates.

This circa 1960 toy actuallyas more in common with the armor shell concepts first pioneered by turn of the century filmmaker

Georges Melies than the succeeding designs of NASAs Mercury and Gemini capsules. The tin litho battery op features standard mystery action, flashing lights, and its most notable element, a visible cockpit housing a tin litho astronaut.
Masudayas packaging for Capsule 6 is particularly striking, making good use of primary color capsule artwork rendered realistically against a stylized lunar background. A scarce toy, Capsule 6 commands serious attention
from collectors today, but for its uncommon nature as well as its pre-NASA view of the future.

There are 2 versions known of this capsule. red astronaut in a yellow interiour where the astronaut has a sort of map in his hands and this one, a green astronaut in red interiour

The conditionof this spacecapsule 6 is near mint and there is only minor playwear allthough I doubt if this toy has ever been really played with before. absolute the best example I have ever seen in years !
The batterycompartment is flawless and only a tiny crack in the clear dome is keeping this toy from higher grading. I tried to make some pics of the ( about 1 cm crack ) but its hard to capture in a picture.

Space capsule 6 is in perfect working condition and has never been messed with. It works perfectly with the special sound, the lights in the nosesection and the astronaut that moves.

Very hard to find and absolutely scarce in this near mint original condition. No upgrade ever needed on this example !!I will sell this fantastic spacetoy in a real sale with a low starting price and price.
