Masudaya - Tin toy - Mini Sonicon Rocket - 1990-2000 - Japan

This is a charming retro-style tin toy “Mini Sonicon Rocket” produced by MASUDAYA (増田屋), a well-known Japanese toy manufacturer famous for its nostalgic and collectible tin toys. The design reflects classic mid-20th century space-age aesthetics, featuring a streamlined rocket body, colorful lithographed details, and a clear cockpit dome with a pilot figure inside. A distinctive radar dish mounted on top adds to its futuristic appeal. The toy operates through a pull-back mechanism, allowing it to move forward when wound, making it both a display piece and a functional collectible. The underside is marked “Made in Japan” and dated 1997, indicating a later reproduction or revival model inspired by Showa-era (昭和時代) designs. The lot includes the original illustrated box and a leaflet, which enhances its collectible value. The box features vibrant retro artwork depicting the rocket in space. This item is ideal for collectors of Japanese tin toys, retro space memorabilia, or MASUDAYA products. Please carefully review the photos for detailed condition. Method of Shipment FedEx or Japan Post NOTICE The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by FedEx or Japan Post. Delivery usually takes 1–2 weeks. Heavy items may be shipped by sea, which may take 1 to 2 months to arrive. The shipping method may vary depending on the item price and size.

If not, the parcel may be returned to me, and reshipping will cost more than twice the original shipping fee. I appreciate your cooperation.
