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?

CIPSA SCORPIO: ENEMIGO INTERGALACTICO

I always like seeing toys I had appearing in different parts of the world. Its good to know I had kindreds across the globe back in the Sixties and early Seventies.

Major Matt Mason was a major part of my life [ see what I did there ] but I never had a Scorpio. I think the Mason expedition to the planets had run out of fuel before my Mum and Dad could get a purple alien. Or maybe there weren't any Scorpio's in Preston, although Bill got one down the road in Liverpool!

Anyway, kids in Mexico had Scorpio's courtesy of Mexican toy importers CIPSA. Its fun to find CIPSA stuff on the net and see if there are differences to Mattel's originals. So, here's the CIPSA Scorpio from their Capitan Meteoro range, which I assume means Captain Meteor, a rather nifty name if you ask me!

Did you or do you have a Scorpio or any CIPSA toys?
