MOONBASE CENTRAL: WILL'S JOE 90 DOSSIER

Friday, 11 November 2022

Hi.

I picked up this copy of the Joe 90 dossier book the other day. Inside was a letter that I’d never seen before. Have you? Quite unusual.

Will O.

Do you like it?

Here's the advert for the dossier in Joe 90 comic no. 7.

A rare promotion I would guess. Great to know that at least one letter has survived to this day in a pristine condition, along with the Dossier.

And now we have Joe's signature too!

What a great find. Very few of these would have survived, so it is great to see an example.

I remember a simular promotion for Shippam's Spreads, a competiton for Mattel's Major Matt Mason. I was especially intrigued by a mysterious picture of a blue suited astronaut who I'd never seen in the English shops.
Some of you Moonbasers will probably know who he was.
Long story short, I failed miserably in the competition, but many years later in Australia in the early 90s, I came across a nicely preserved example of this blue astronaut at a reasonable price.

I just had to wait a LONG time!

The Shippam's Major Matt Mason competition page can be seen here:

The astronaut in blue is Jeff Long:

As an aside, the MMM section of Wildtoys is currently being migrated to
https://majormattmason.blogspot.com where the (relatively small) menu bar at the top duplicates the one on Wildtoys.
