I don't have a picture of it, but someone on here made a mention of the toy, and I've long since forgot about it. It was a toy I remember playing with in kindergarten. It was a plastic playset or sorts in shape of a space module of the Apollo ship. I remember it would open up on hinges and there was two or three levels or floors to it. I don't know if it came with any figures, but I think it might've been scaled for 3.75" figures. I don't think it was made by a famous toy company, but it was maybe more like something from Playskool or Playmobil. And it was released in the late 70's. I once saw a tiny picture of it in 1978 or 79 JC Penney or Sears Christmas catalog, but I can't find it on the web anywhere. Anyone know this toy? What's it's name and who made it? I'd greatly appreciate any info you might have. Thanks.

I am more than machine. More than man. More than a fusion of the two. -
Just to be sure, it's not the "made-out-of-scale" Super Joe Rocket Command Center, right? I only ask because of the Apollo lander and hinge descriptions...

BTW Señor Palitoy - I found a misdirect on the file link in Plaid Stallions here, the main page directs to sj774 instead of sj775:

Any chance it was the Viking 2 shuttle playset from Enco? I believe that was released in the late '70s. I'll look around for a photo.
It was very cheaply made and included one 3 3/4" astronaut.Comment

I just took a few photos of mine so you can see what I'm referring to.
