1950's Japan Daiya's Cragstan Astronaut with a scarce reproduction box- This has to be the most desirable battery operated astronaut ever made. Boogaert's book devoted 3 pages to this awesome unit. A beautiful & large 14" the astronaut is finished in the very rare red color. The toy is a rare find & seldom available in any kind of decent condition. The litho details especially in the face area are incredible. There was a version made with a young boy's head (made of rubber) under the dome which although rarer, doesn't quite carry the appeal of this serious looking fellow. In addition to being tall it is also a very wide unit which gives it a very substantial look & feel. Actions include walking, arms lifting gun & gun firing. An outstanding addition to the advanced collection. Has the usual tiny stress crack on side of dome & light scratches. SOLD
