A Space Fighter's Pet: Tyconus Rochon: What?


I saw this strange beast on Ebay last year.


The Tyconus Rochon!


I see a figure in the small bag but would this toy work for other action figures like Masters of the Universe or even Star Wars?

Anyone know the Tyconus Rochon's story?

  1. There's not much in the picture for size reference,but I see a stick rule in the 3rd picture.It looks as though the vehicle is about 7 inches high,so I would guess it is geared towards the 3 3/4 inch figures like Star Wars.I notice it takes 2 C cell batteries. Most Star Wars vehicles(or at least the smaller ones) take 2 AA batteries.I definitely would find a place for it in my mashed up space toy universe,where all brands are welcome.

    1. ha ha, I like that Brian! Where all brands are welcome! A refuge for forgotten toys! Sounds like a fine occupation.

  2. The name of the toy seems to read "Tyconus & Rochon", where - according to instructions on the box side - Tyconus is the warrior and Rochon is the monster vehicle. The Eighties is strong with this one!

    1. Well spotted Helsinki Base! I hadn't seen the 'and'! Makes more sense now. So that little silver fellow in the baggy is Tyconus eh. Sounds Roman!
