Space Explorer Box

So is there anyone out there that could shed some light on the box for the space explorer has anyone seen one other than just a picture of the front of the box ie what was on the back of the box, sides, top, and bottom as i was thinking of having a go at reproducing one for my space explorer any information to help reproduce it would be of help or any pictures anyone might have heres hoping

Hi Roy

I know someone who has a box so i will ask him for you and i have been meaning to get round to his place and have a look at his collection so if i can i shall take some pictures too

Nice to see you posting mate, dont be a stranger

Cheers Dan that would be great, Bob is also doing a bit of research for me as well so hopefully i can get the info i need i have already been able to make up the box with some measurements that i managed to get hold of from the gi joe space adventurer box and i have managed to get the artwork from the front of the box sorted out as well so not doing to bad if i get it done in time i will bring it down to the show for you to see thanks again for your help fingers crossed

Not a problem Roy and it would be great to see it in the flesh

I have great respect for the hours spent putting something together like this and making it historically correct

That we we all benefit from your hard work

Hi actionmad, in the interest of not wanting to stoke another argument I have removed the name of said forum. Thanks

SORRY dont want to get my self band with no chance of reply

no problems at all my friend .

Did you manage to knock one up Roy?

He had the prototype at the last Action man show and i think he is selling a very limited number

be nice if you could post it here Roy with the price and PM me the details you know i was on the waiting list

I wouldn`t mind one of those eiyher!

Hi all well as you know the prototype box was done at the last show I have had some printed but have been a bit slack on going down to collect them but as people are now starting to get on at me lol  Id  better pull my finger out and get some done I will see if I can add a picture I seem to be having a problem getting it to upload but I will keep trying let me know if any ones interested

well I cant seem to post a picture does someone want to tell me how I should be going about doing it ??

Use photobucket Roy and just paste the url link of the picture you want to your post

or send me the picture and ill post it for you

Thanks for that Dan I think that looks rather good even if I do say so myself

Hi All I now have a limited amount of the space explorer boxes ready if anyone is still interested you would get the box backing card for the outfit and a copy of the instruction leaflet ready for you to display your space explorer in as you can see from the pictures it looks great if anyone wants them it will be on a first come first served basis so let me know

That box looks really cool. It's reminded me I'm missing a MAM astronaut for my little collection.

Two things puzzle me though. Firstly, in the picture on the left the guy looks like he has no gloves on - might have cold hands after a while in space! Secondly, is this a VAM set? Seems like a lot of MAM day-glow orange in there!  

This space explorer is most deffo a original palitoy item but it was only made for a very short period of time making it a very sort after item if you look at the rest of the range at the time it was all made to relate to something factual but the space explorer was very futuristic almost unbelievable like you said with no gloves in space !! making it not very popular making a boxed version almost impossible to find in fact the last boxed one which was sold going for £3000 that is why I have had a go at a repro box

Put me down for one please mate8) 

Need to box one up and see what the postage will be but they are ready to go so as to speak
