This part will fit all variations of the Alps Futura cars; friction, battery operated, and remote control. The replacement wheel mounts to the toy using the same tab/slot configuration and is easy to install. Also available for this toy are the rubber tires and the spring shaft deck antenna.

  • Irwin 'Man From Mars' Replacement Bubble Helmet A two piece bubble helmet for the Irwin 'Man From Mars' wind up toy from the 1950's. The helmet comes in two pieces as shown and installs just as the original. There are 4 alignment pins on one helmet half and 4 corresponding holes on the other half. A small bit of super glue to each pin will secure the helmet to the spaceman. There is a hole in the top of the helmet for the rubber antenna, which is also available here on this site. Many of the original bubbles are missing, cracked and re-glued or have become clouded or crazed from age. My new bubble is guaranteed to be an excellent fit and remain clear for years to come!
  • A replacement antenna for the 1960's Sears Exclusive Bandai Area Radiation Tester. Modeled from pictures of an original toy part, the Antenna installs to the toy the just like the original. We have many other parts available for this toy! Sears Exclusive toys are highly sought after and extremely collectible because of their diverse subject matter and outstanding quality.  The Area Radiation Tester made its first and only appearance in the 1961 edition of the Sears Christmas Catalog as a Sears Exclusive toy. A truly unique and futuristic toy, the Area Radiation Tester is an action toy. Featuring Bump N Go movement, alternating flashing red and green light pods and an articulated radar arm that rises from the rear of the toy in a cloud of smoke! Operates on two 'D' cell batteries inserted into the bottom of the toy. To commence the action, simply slide the carefully hidden On/Off switch on the rear of the toy. The toy automatically comes to a full stop when the rising radar dish pops through the bay doors. Truly an amazing sight to view this toy in operation!
  • Marx Captain Space Solar Scout Rifle REPLACEMENT CLEAR LENS. Crystal clear and screws on just like the original. Listing is for the CLEAR LENS ONLY, gun shown for identification and clarity only. These are in stock and ready to ship.
  • A replica cap compartment cover for the 1950's Ideal Atomic Machine Gun. This cap is near perfect and almost a dead ringer for the often missing plug. The fit is tested on my own toy and an original stack of 5 Kilgore Roll Caps (not included) is inserted and then capped. I believe the original cap was a hollow injection molded part and quite flimsy, which is why they're almost always missing. I still resin cast my part but I designed it to be solid with the exterior look of the original. Please ask if you're looking for or need custom parts!
  • Yonezawa Conehead Replacement Ears & Tip
  • TN Nomura Astronaut Helmet. A replacement astronaut helmet for the battery-operated Nomura Moon Patrol Space Division #3 or the Mobile Space TV Unit with Trailer.

The red cone is correct for the Mobile Space TV Unit with Trailer and the yellow cone is correct for the Nomura Moon Patrol.
  • The Toy Masters Space Survey Jeep friction toy sometimes comes with a tin astronaut driver, but always has a telescope that swings back and forth. A shaft protrudes vertically through the rear of the telescope and the antenna will rotate 360 degrees when mounted atop that shaft. Uncle Al's also fabricates the replacement telescope and cradle assembly for this toy.
  • A new replacement, metal tail wheel for the Master Crafters Sessions Wooden Airplane table clock. I made a mold of an original tail wheel, and I cast and finish these myself.

  • A replacement cast metal propeller for the Mastercrafters Sessions Airplane Clock. Cast from a mold created of an original clock part and is a guaranteed fit for your clock. I cast these parts myself. All of the pictures you see here are of the new replacement part, not an original. The metal castings are filed, sanded and lightly polished. I decided not to plate the propeller as they looked quite appropriate in the lightly polished bare metal state. Protect the integrity and value of your clock by reinstalling a REAL METAL replacement propeller. This is a bare metal casting and is NOT plated.
  • Here we have a new RED replacement jet cone for your Nomura (TN) Japan 3 Stage Rocket. The pins on the original toy cones were very easily broken due to their outside location on the main body of the rocket. This toy REALLY moves when in operation and it's understandable why these fragile parts would break. The installation of these parts is not for the inexperienced individual. There are tiny light bulbs (not included) on very short wires that mount to the back of the cones and great care must be taken when removing the old cones. This is the ONLY source for this toy part and it is a perfect replacement!
  • Perfect fit replacement rubber parts just like original! The rubber nose cone is cast to fit tightly  but in the same contour of the rocket tip. The rubber fin tips just pop in.

Make your XM-12 Moon Rocket a real show stopper again with these great replacement rubber parts. They are made of the same grade material as the original parts and can be installed without taking your toy apart. Also available for this toy are the crystal clear canopy. 'On/Off' ball switch and rocket engine celluloid windows.
