Larami Corp Toys

Made in Hong Kong in 1975 for US market. Cheap junk with little if any connection to the series. The card backings of the blister packs had nice if messy Year 1 photos, usually of astronauts, largely from Breakaway, Ring Around The Moon and Alpha Child. Several were reissued for Year 2 with some new toys.


ALPHA FLICKS (Larami Corp)

US 1975 No, 7022-7

ALPHA FLICKS AND STAMPING SET (Larami Corp)

US 1975

Contains a "TV" viewer with two rolls (from the "Alpha Flicks" set) and stamps (from the "Stamping Set")

A small set of seven stamps decorated with crude designs from the series, plus an ink cases decorated with the series logo. Also included was a plastic "television set" decorated with a photo of three Eagles (a model shot of the 3 different scales together) and two paper reels, each telling a short story in a series of colour artwork pictures. These reels could be mounted in the "television" and the dials on the side used to wind on the reel, revealing consecutive pictures on the "screen". The stories were "The Phantom Planet" (captions: "John! Look out!" "Zarp! Scroom! Another transformation..." "Now it's ancient Rome..." "It doesn't really exist at all!") and "The Atomic Monster" ("Cosmic rays have no effect!" "That halo means radiation!" "Only the glacier gun will work..." "That'll keep him on ice!"). 13 very crude artwork pictures per story. The reels were stored in cardboard tubes, the exteriors decorated with the series logo and colour photos, mostly of astronauts. Sold in a bubble pack with colourful photos of astronauts: top left behind logo is Alan aiming Alpha Child blaster, top right are the Ring Around The Moon astronauts in transit.
