CIPSA Art. 4927 Capitán Meteoro

Art. 4927 Capitán Meteoro Box

The Mexican release of Major Matt Mason (actually, Sgt Storm) shows a large photo of him standing next to a typical Mattel white cat trac that looks like it's been painted gray. Capitán Meteoro is written in bold letters to one side in yellow with a red drop-shadow. The entire figure is white and appears to have been spray-painted white with brushed-on detailing. On Meteoro's chest, old glory is replaced by a blue rectangle with hand-painted white stars. All currently known production figures have simplified detailing, one colour only (red, even the "flag" is red), and lack painted details on their backs. The helmet in the box image appears to be an original Mattel product. Box photo from Frank May.

John's Notes:

Unfortunately I still don't have an example so the images I have are from various resources. I am actively looking for an example if someone has one for sale - please contact me.
