MEXICO'S MAN IN SPACE


Mexico's Matt Mason toys are fascinating. Released by Cipsa, the box art is different as are some of the toys.

There's a white Firebolt Laser canon and a completely new flying saucer called the Selenium.

Have you any Cipsa toys readers?

  1. The Canon Espacial doesn't seem to have any wheels or barrel, but a little research suggests it just isn't assembled in the above photo.

  2. The Selenium is simply a battery operated saucer with a blowing ball mechanism on the back. Clearly an example of Mexican 'label slapping'! I wouldn't mind a Mexican Scorpio or Callisto, but the rest are a bit insipid looking Bill

  3. I really love these Spanish/Mexican versions of space toys, an amazing alternate unvierse, especially the groovy graphics!
