"Metal
Die-cast Space Warrior with Flapout Wingpack"
|
|
Released
in 1976, this was a heavy duty figure, made almost entirely out of die-cast
metal. Based on the Takara Super
Steel Microman M21X, Space Glider came in 3 different colors;
blue, gold, and green. Detachable parts included the hands and wrist cuffs,
helmet and wingpack (otherwise known as a "dash wing"), which
had a 5mm peg which fit into the hole in the figure's back.

Accessories
included a small blue plastic helmet, and a color corisponding wingpack.
The wingpack folded down when not in use. Then wih the touch of a button,
the spring-loaded wings would pop out ready for flight. The
helmet being small and easily lost, most Space Gliders are found today
missing this accessory ...unless you were a kid who really took care of
his toys!
