#6345 SPACE BUBBLE
Copyright 1968--first year available 1969
The
Space Bubble is a single passenger vehicle that is commonly towed behind the Uni- Tred
Space Hauler, but could also be pulled by the Space Crawler and the Firebolt Space Cannon
using a special hitch provided with the Bubble. Additional Space Bubbles can be joined
together for convoy action. Gyro-seat control keeps astronauts upright, as the Bubble
rolls 360 degrees over planet terrain.
The bubble is completely of
"transparent" plastic, with the gyro-seat molded in "white" plastic.
Also has decals to mark it's place in the field. The bubble is about 6 1/2" in
diameter, with it's "white" plastic molded frame and support and hitch making
the vehicle overall about 16 inches long.
PACKAGE DESCRIPTION:
9 1/2" x 10 3/4" x 7 1/2" box sports the traditional two photograph sides
and all other box panels utilize the "black", "blue" and
"white" line art illustrations.
DEALER CATALOG SPECS:
Information currently unavailable.
VARIATIONS:
The transparent bubble has different color variants. As the Reentry Glider has different
colored Transparent canopies. The Space bubble comes molded in transparent
"blue", "purple", "smoke" or "clear". A lot of
times the halves that join together to make the bubble are mix matched. A "blue"
half glued to a "smoke". Or a "blue to a "purple". The hatch, a
third part that also makes up the bubble's construction can also be any one of these
colors.
COMMENTS:
Space Bubbles are fairly common. Though once played with and rolled around on the floor
and other surfaces the bubble will no longer have it's crystal clear appearance. Store
stock ones are often sought after for ones collection to display a nice unscaved example.
