I had many epic rubbery space adventures with Major Matt Mason back in the Sixties. We'd been to Mars a dozen times by 1969! The Space Station, Astro Trac, Gamma Ray Guard to name but a few of his accessories, things of rare beauty all and the stuff of intergalactic fun. The new NASA Mars Rover Curiosity and the Sky Crane would have suited the Major so well.
Was Major Matt part of your childhood and is he still popular?
Yes, absolutely,

DeleteBefore my time but I always envied those toys. At the recent Sand Diego Comic Con Mattel had a display of MMM toys from back in the day. Reading from another source, it seems the Matty Collector crew did this for both nostalgia & public awareness (i.e. collectors of a certain generation) of this great toy line. If it does transpire that they are doing a re release, I'm all for it BUT I'd rather have a vintage MMM toy as it was played with, depending on price and in good condition of course.
