I bought them around 6 years ago. The boxed items came from the same guy who had a large collection of HI items he was selling. I bought the Grenade Pistol from him and he messaged me about buying more. He sold me the boxed Helmet for $125 outside of eBay. I would have bought many more of his boxed HI items but I just didn't have the money. Couldn't pass up the helmet for that though. He also had a nice boxed Torpedo Tank he was willing to sell me for $400 but I just couldn't swing it at the time. The smaller gun was purchased not long after from another eBay seller.

So much cool stuff, so little money.

Interesting the Lizard Man's lighter pigmentation! Are they all made from the softer eraser type rubber?

 ???

That thing is gorgeous! Red, yellow and blue is my favorite pulp colors combo!

Just before the 1963 Xmas season Remco released a Supercar loosely resembling the Mike Mercury piloted Super Car from the popular Gerry Anderson produced TV show:



Here's one complete with the now scarce original Sears Roebuck shipping box:



Within a year or two Remco spiffed up the presentation of its Supercar with a fancier more colourful bubble box:

Standard Plastics Products produced several nifty Fireball XL5 items. One was this cool binder suitable for school or office use:



Plus two different Fireball XL5 wallets. The first was a boys' wallet featuring Steve Zodiac:



The second was a girls' wallet featuring Dr. Venus:





The girls' wallet is perhaps even more appealing to me as an adult enthusiast than is the boys' wallet.

These Space Raiders made by Diener were a very popular toy in McDonald's Happy Meals in the mid to late seventies:



Diener also subsequently marketed the Space Raiders as rack toys in the form of erasers:

I never knew that McDonald's had them.  I used to buy them from TG&Y in the mid 70s.  I still have a green and a pink Altair rocket, and maybe a couple of the others in storage.  I wish I could mold one of the rockets to make a resin copy, but it would probably destroy the eraser.

A series of soft rubbery Space Creatures produced by Diener were included as part of McDonald's Happy Meals shortly after the Space Invaders:



Vampire Bat Creature
Insectman
Tree Trunk Monster
Veined Cranium Creature
Winged Amphibian Creature
Horned Cyclops
Gill Face Creature
Lizard Man

Each figure was issued in multiple colours including orange, yellow, green, blue and brown. Diener also issued these figures as Erasers packaged in carded rack toys format:





Diener also issued these figures under the name Alien Creatures as carded rack toys:



And loose in clear plastic bins:



The Alien Creatures were issued in different colours including a light purple, a grey and in different shades of yellow and green than were the Space Creatures. (I have my doubts as to whether the clear plastic bin above actually contains Alien Creatures.  It could have been filled for photo purposes with Space Creatures from Happy Meals.)



The only questions are whether the figures were available in Happy Meals before or after they were issued as rack toys, and whether the rubber of the figures found in Happy Meals was actually harder than when the figures were released by Diener as Erasers.

Here's a very good article on the Diener Space Creatures that were included in McDonald's Happy Meals:

The best and most detailed description of the Diener Space Creatures may perhaps be on this Little Weirdos site.
