Masudaya X-7 Tin Space Ship Flying Saucer Japan Tested No Box Vintage Rare Tin

Developed during Japan's postwar tin toy golden age, when science fiction and space exploration captured global imagination. Created by Masudaya Corporation, a leading exporter known for advanced mechanical tin toys and bold futuristic designs. Reflects strong influence from the late-1950s to 1960s Space Race, UFO sightings, and popular sci-fi media.

Designed to appeal not only to children but also to international markets seeking visually striking, mechanical novelty toys. Represents Masudaya's transition from conventional vehicles to imaginative, non-realistic sci-fi concepts.

Authentic original Japanese tin toy from the 1960s, not a reproduction or later reissue. Space-themed tin toys were produced in smaller quantities compared to cars or robots. Working examples are increasingly rare due to the age and mechanical complexity. X-7 is less frequently seen on the global market than many Masudaya vehicle models.

Highly desirable among international collectors of UFO, space, and mid-century sci-fi toys. Classic flying saucer form with bold retro-futuristic proportions. Tinplate body features period-correct graphics and metallic presence. Mechanical movement has been tested and confirmed functional.

Strong visual impact as a display piece, even when not operating. Evokes the optimism and imagination of the early space age. Original 1960s Japanese tinplate construction. Mechanical action tested and working. Ideal centerpiece for vintage sci-fi or UFO collections.

Please see the attached photo. This is a 65-year-old tin battery-powered toy, but it is extremely rare and an amazing item to find one that still works as it did back then. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" - Japan, US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. Thank you for your understanding.
