I recently found a reference to this toy in an old newspaper ad for various Gund toys from 1967, although at that time they were referring to them as Marteenie Dolls, guess that didn't quite work. Totally digging the space age graphics on the saucer and the design of the girl pilot. Super cool.
As I have been diligently scanning records for my Alice book, I've also been digging through the erstwhile For Sale section to fill in gaps when I can't find the exact item I'm looking for (I have a slew of duplicates too). Anyway, this item from said For Sale section leapt into my hands begging for scanning. Who am I to say no?
This thing is just so cool I can barely stand it. Original release from 1950 in France, a 78 rpm set of picture disks, with the interior disc sleeves illustrating the story! Why couldn't they have done an Alice, I ask you!
Enjoy!
This is a monster, 52 pages with lots of cool balloons, including many Disney examples featuring Snow White, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and more. Enjoy!
I've been doing a lot of scanning recently for another project, and have come across several Model-Craft catalogs. Seemed like a good way to restart this blog.
Here's a little something on Kay Stanley and Model-Craft from my in-progress "Alice in Wonderland" book .
