... well, me, actually.

Prototype [first?] of Moonraker playsuit by PLUS of France. One seemingly later prototype is also known to exist as well as one that would appear to be a production unit.

Hand-built box with illustration of marker and colored-pencil. Suit is carefully sewn (from what would seem a refined, final pattern) of metallic fabric and featuring white vinyl details.

    Ah that's what was in the box!

    I wondered..


    Lovely piece alan... Someone else might have the most JB toys, and phony records, etc...

    But I'd bet your collection is the most sought after and classy...

    Oh, and I'd pay good money to see mini-jeff wearing this costume :D

    I first saw this -- or possibly one of the other two -- at an Earl's Court toy fair in '96 but can't recall if I either had to pass owing to price or it just being shown and wasn't for sale.

    Regardless, had been on my want list pretty much since then.

    I'd known for a few years where this one was but wasn't certain it was for sale until I finally got the gumption to ask.

    What I'd like to know is if these were, in fact, ever actually produced. I was told the volcano playset never existed as anything more than a prototype and we now know that's not true so ...
