Retro Sci Fi

In the process of surfing around the web and Blogs, etc., I found this Retro SciFi clip.  I stored it as a Blog entry to include. Somewhere along the way, I erroneously deleted the ideas and thoughts...though, I did want to share video...

"Over the Moon" is based on the "Dr. Connie Radar PhD" comic strip. The video is about Dr. Radar attempting to stop the moon landing by American astronauts. Dr. Radar landed on the moon in 1957. Here's the video:

If this sparks some interest, "off the top of my head" I know that Blue Moon Manufacturing's Aliens & Spacemen is a good start

Rocketmen

and these

Human Spacemen

Hydra Miniatures have the Retro Raygun line of figures...

There are three factions and some assorted Space Aliens. The factions are Rocketeers, Robot Legion and Valkeeri. Here's a sampling:

Galacteers

Robot Legion

Cosmic Stranger of Space Aliens

Valkeeri

Valkeeri Rocket Sleds

You should also take a look at the Hydra Miniatures Gallery for painting ideas.

Killer B Miniatures also have a GAFDOZ line. Take a look at some of these:

BOO12

Crux Crator of Star Patrol

Lost Legion

And tune in next time to see if Dick Garrison escapes the Rattrap to find Parroom Station in his War Rocket and continues his Adventures Across the Universe!
