Earlier today I said I might have a lead for ID' ing this plastic purple moonscape. Well, I stumbled across the same plastic piece on another blog about fantasy toys called Fantasy Toy Soldiers. It is my new favourite blog!
The publisher Shaun has compiled a veritable feast of plastic heroes and demons and in his article Marty Toy: Warriors of the Galaxy Shaun includes the following picture:

OK, it's bright orange and not purple but its the same toy for sure. Shaun explains that "this weird little piece also comes with some of the Mexico copies". The set of figures its related to is the Warriors of the Galaxy line by Marty Toys. They issued a fab looking play set:

Read Shaun's full article for the proper gen on this toy line and browse his cool site whilst your'e at it!
So, at this point I'm still unsure if we have found the source of the moonscape. Mexican copies tend to be just that, Copies. Maybe Devlin was right about Tim-Mee and the moonscape is theirs? At least we know its from a fantasy figure line by the looks of it.
