Euro Space and Futuristic Series

With Mattel's greatly successful Major Matt Mason line, I am surprised it took them about ten years to intergrate a space theme into the Big Jim line.  The space line began in the early 80s with two figures that had a Buck Rogers-like theme.  There were two 'crossovers' to the old Major Matt Mason lines in the Captain Laser figure and the Space Mission set.  In the mid 80s, a revamping of the Big Jim line included several new futuristic figures and vehicles.

For more space toys check out Jim Gillam's Space Toys of the 60's.  It is an excellent source of info on Major Matt Mason, Colorforms Outerspace Men, Zeroids, and more.  The link I provided leads you to Amazon, but if you prefer one of the other online retailers, the book's ISBN is .  It is a super toy book with tons of photos and info, and it is a heck of a bargain.
