| "Metal
Die-cast Space Warrior with Soft Tipped Missile Action" |
|
|
Mego brought out the big guns with this
figure. Released in 1976, the die-cast Galactic Warrior was based on the Takara
Super Steel 22X Microman figure, and came in 3
colors; blue, green, and red.
Galactic Warrior came packaged with a spring loaded missile launcher (otherwise
known as the "hand bazooka") and 2 rubber tipped missiles. The cannon
had a detatchable connector piece that joined the launcher to the 5mm peg in the
figures chest. The launcher part had handles on either side for the figure to
hold, and being made from pretty sturdy die-cast metal, the Galactic Warrior could
hold the gun straight out from his body.

While
the Microman version had more pointed plastic projectiles, Mego fitted their missiles
with soft round rubber tips (like all the missiles in the line) to reduce the
choking hazard for children. The missile shafts and launcher were color matched
to the figure. When not blasting Acroyears, the launcher could be mounted to the
figures back via the 5mm peg/hole system. He was also packed with the Time Traveler
style chestplate, and detachable parts included hands/cuffs and of course the
launcher. |
