Although simple in design, I think it still has a strong space-age aesthetic going on :)<br /><br /><br /><br />Tony Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-13781531370187799752017-11-15T19:41:44.584+00:002017-11-15T19:41:44.584+00:00After googling Moon McDare I thought this was the ...After googling Moon McDare I thought this was the case Tone.

The image was a tad misleading, unless kids or parents took the time to read the blurb on the box which said he was dressed in a blue jump suit. I can imagine some hyped-up kid opening the box on Xmas day, expecting to have a ready-to-go action astronaut, and there was McDare in his Earth-bound blue jump suit. Little wonder Matt Mason won the Space Race :)Tony Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-10535978544047069472017-11-15T15:49:54.350+00:002017-11-15T15:49:54.350+00:00Did Moon come in a plain set of overalls in the bo...Did Moon come in a plain set of overalls in the box with non-space accessories too Tone?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-40091506961291782332017-11-15T15:39:39.741+00:002017-11-15T15:39:39.741+00:00Good point, Woodsy !

I actually can't say I've ever seen any repro or replacement parts for McDare, other than perhaps the repro box for the figure.<br />I'd imagine there's an untapped market desperately waiting for replacement helmet visors though :) <br />Tony Knoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-27660675678947562882017-11-15T15:22:39.084+00:002017-11-15T15:22:39.084+00:00Are you able to get replacement or repro parts for...Are you able to get replacement or repro parts for the McDare Tone?WOODSYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456645970983569001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2156181044707591026.post-1033065313329804162017-11-15T13:18:48.191+00:002017-11-15T13:18:48.191+00:00I do like this large 1/6 vintage spaceman, Woodsy....I do like this large 1/6 vintage spaceman, Woodsy. He's often overlooked and largely overshadowed by Mattel's comprehensive Matt Mason range. McDare's a difficult astronaut to find with an undamaged space suit. The clear plastic helmet visor being particularly prone to damage :)Tony Knoreply@blogger.com
