1976: DINKY STAR TREK & SPACE: 1999 US TOY ADVERT


I always think of DINKY TOYS as being a very British concern so I was quite surprised to see they were selling their Star Age wares in the States in the 1970s.  This US advert appeared in comics around the turn of 1975/76.

All three of the featured craft were playground mainstays in the late 1970s: STAR TREK's Enterprise (complete with cunningly repositioned shuttle bay that doubled as a stand) and SPACE: 1999's Eagles double-act.
