Comments left:	Mattel's MAJOR MATT MASON, another by-product of the space craze. Rick is right about the quality of the action figures. They were molder in black with a rubber coating for a space suit. There were lots of strange accessories you could buy including: Space Crawler, Space Bubble, inflatable tent, which couldn't hold air, it leaked. In 1970, two enemy character figures were introduced: Calysto, which had a green translucent head; and Scorpio, a robot-like figure with a head that resembled an aardvark. Both Scorpio and Calysto had short production lives, and are worth hundreds of $ on the collectible market. While the three astronauts; Mason, Doug Davis and Mike Storm may net $40 in mint apiece. After a slow marketing start in 1968, MATT MASON and crew were produced until 1972. Saturday cartoon shows with Mattel as a sponsor (i.g. "Sky Hawks") pushed the Man in Space heavily.
