Tiny Alien Space Ships & Space Craft - German? Chile?


Best Answer fuzzbuster , 05 January 2020 - 03:19 PM

I have the remnants of one of those vehicles:

 

The TM on the underside reads "Made In W Germany"

 

I believe they were made by a company called Bruder.

So here's the deal.  i know that these exist... but that's about it.  I am desperate to find out as much about these as possible.  They're very small, from what i've heard, they were only made for a second.  I'm not sure if they were made in Germany, another European country, or a South American country like Chile.

 

Please help =)

I can't help with any real info, but I had at least 2 of those little ships in the second picture. The car with the pinchers on the right and the rocket on the left with the dual radar dishes on top.

 

I think I must have had them in the late 80s or early 90s. One part of my brain thinks they came from gumball machines, but there's also a part that's telling me they may have been acquired at the gift shop of our city's science museum on one of many field trips.

 

Thank you

In a similar vein, I definitely recognize and either owned or handled the UFO in the first picture at some point. I think I recall that one being red or orange for the saucer but can’t definitively say.

I have a handful of these. I have seen them sold in buckets and tubes before.

 

They also did larger brighter space ships like a flying saucer and a satellite/radar lander as roy rogers happy meals that have the same general aesthetic aside from size and color

Bruder spaceships are awesome! I still have a few hanging around somewhere; bought in the mid-90s.

I just visited their website and they have a store locator to find local shops that carry their stuff: https://www.brudertoys.com/en/usa/
