Space Whale Ship Yoshiya Japan 1957

space whale ship built by yoshiya is a strange toy and that I love. it waddles when you wind it up with the integrated key and you raise its antenna. its fins open and close its funny eyes swing from all sides then it opens the gaping mouth. It is like a navy blue sky studded with stars with portholes from which astronauts appear. The rear fin is lined in red and white and to avoid sharp edges circled in chrome on the top is a sputnik. At the front a robot accompanies the astronaut through the window The box shows the whale with its mouth gaping in a lunar environment. With a juvenile and smiling astronaut on the left we can see a space station like a bubble on the planet a funny and creative toy. Yoshiya designed space dog, space whale and the rarest space elephant .it was a huge success.. my favorite remains the whale,
this one is in good condition, the box is in average condition,but its difficuklt to find it in original box 
you can also have it with a reproduction box for €450 . your choice.; I always like to keep the original boxes, which are so difficult to find.
