Hi,
That is Scorpio from Major Matt Mason line of toys from the 1960's. He is staring at me from my vintage collectibles shelf. A pretty neat toy for the time!
Awesome my first post

First of all, welcome!!!

Awesome!!
Thanks man, you know, my brother had this as a kid and in the late 70's I would borrow it from him!!!
It lights up, I forgot!!
Man, what an amazing figure! I loved it!!!
I need to track one down... though I'm sure they are expensive as hell...

I guess my sketch isn't that far off!!

EDIT:
By searching about it online, I just remembered we had the Major Matt Mason figure:

as well as the Station:

Crap! Those are fetching thousands of dollars now!!!

My friend picked up a USS Flagg a few months ago and we finally got around to building it:

And of course, what do you do when you have 7.5' of awesome display space? PUT RANDOM VINTAGE TOYS ON IT!!!

And of course, you gotta pose with the classic-ness of it all...

I also hauled some awesome good vintage goodies but my camera went kaput so I can't take pics yet...

This might be my favorite vintage Star Wars figure. Such a far-out design it's funny that he got green lit so late in the line.

Holy crap man... is it even legal to have that much awesomeness in one area?!?

GI-Joe, Shogun Warriors Godzilla, the Kraken, Robotech, Kitt, Milenium Falcon and a person favorite of M.U.S.C.L.E. (not to mention many, many more). You are my new hero

Have to agree... I never knew about this figure when I was a kid. The first time I saw it I was totally amazed that such an odd looking figure would be made, and would come with a fairly gruesome (by 80's standards) accessory.

GOD I love it, Cow has just moved light years up the Ski scale of AWESOMENESS, I had this as a kid I can't express all the joys that came out of this thing. Everything single Joe would fit on this and including all the Cobras with a EPIC war and I had a ____ load of Joe's, every one of them and there were tons of multiples...

I only have my 82-87 though currently, I kept the ones that meant the most, basically complete 82-87 were my guys anything after that didn't have much respect

I wish I could take all the credit but I can't, it's all my friend's stuff. He seriously has almost every awesome toy ever made and probably a bunch that you've never heard of. The only stuff in those pics that are mine are the MUSCLE figures. It was an amazing experience though.

Speaking of MUSCLE, I just hauled a MINT Wrestling Ring the other day. I just need the belt and to finish my figure set...

Hahaha, I wish we would have had more Joe stuff to take pics with. The rest of his collection is in storage so we just grabbed whatever he had laying around. I would have killed for the Flagg as a kid.

Kickass... I bought a "MISB" belt years ago, only to find that after the tape disintegrated (2 or so years later) and I removed the contents it was missing the plastic covers

So, on the hunt for that as well. Probably eventually get the Mega-match board game, but its a low priority piece.

Complete pink and complete mixed colors (no pinks) M.U.S.C.L.E. sets

Anyone have Stretch Armstrong ?

Loved my stretch...of course pulled him too far and he cracked, like many of them did. And they didn't age well...would become hard as a rock or leaked...prices on ebay are insane...I dont know why they just dont remake the vintage.

 

[Praetorian380]

This thread is full of all kinds of WIN!!!

Ive gone through the entire thread and its brought back so many memories
Its really awesome to see that so many of us here have kept these vintage toys.

 

[galactiboy]

Got a few more vintage items out on display:

Voltron I, II and III

GI Optimus and Jetfire​

 

[Skiman]

I love that original Voltron, is that the diecast metal version, I need find one of these one day. What is the brand or title of that figured called?

 

[galactiboy]

All of them are a mixture of Die-Cast and plastic...

From left to right you have;
Voltron III- (12" tall)
Mine is actually the "Lion-Bot" version; which I guess is sort of a knock-off of the Japanese release, but its all the same materials but manufactured for export. Mattel made him in the US.

Voltron I- (15" tall) Mattel

Voltron II- (9"tall) Mattel
-only version I'm aware of that they released

What's the tiny Prime infront of the big one?

 

[galactiboy]

That is the Takara "Worlds Smallest Transformers" Optimus Prime.

Its a pretty cool series that took the G1 designs and shrunk them down to around to about 1"-2" tall.

 

[MaulFan]

Very cool, thanks.

Thanks for the info Gboy, I'm interested in finding me one of the lion-not version

His son.

Does it transform, too?

 

[galactiboy]

Yep, all of them transform. Some are pretty faithful even to the transformation.

Prime's legs are fused and the arms aren't as poseable; but still pretty good for something so small. The Soundwave one is awesome... even has a little ravage that fits into the player

Here's a listing of them, but not all of them have the pictures:
WST

 

[Darth Waller]

That Ravage must be insanely tiny.

 

[galactiboy]

It is... and it actually transforms
