It came with Topolino, the Mickey Mouse comic so popular in Italy. However, I don't remember actually seeing this in stores. This would have been a "5&10" sort of product, aimed at cartolerie (paper shops that would also sell low-end toys) rather than regular toy stores. Still, my 5 1/2 y.o. self would have loved one.

The JL box has that “NASA Presentation Astronaut” sticker on it. If memory serves, I acquired these figures back in the 1980s. They are currently all boxed up with some of the rest of my collection, so I may have to retrieve them and examine each one carefully to see if any/all of them are fake.Starfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546611885041497304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094127430358598488.post-91188764054802341562023-10-22T18:24:56.838-04:002023-10-22T18:24:56.838-04:00Hi John,

Storm on Cat Trak… with a RED helmet! Also, another with white ‘cuffs’; I’m not expert enough to know whether the latter is a genuine variation (as with black/blue straps)… Maybe you could advise? I’d be happy to send you a pic.; please let me know how. I can also tell you which individual I probably obtained these figures from back in 1996 (if my records/memory are correct). I regret that they were part of an exchange for genuine, mint Callisto carded figures! :-(<br />Steve SalmonStarfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16546611885041497304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094127430358598488.post-51244873304517531692019-03-27T21:25:09.969-04:002019-03-27T21:25:09.969-04:00were to buy the card plastic see thru blister pak ...were to buy the card plastic see thru blister pak for ,ajor matt mason.stephen becker -atlantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13463572804615837987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094127430358598488.post-36141118709852517002011-06-18T14:35:52.472-04:002011-06-18T14:35:52.472-04:00Hi, I tried emailing you at john@wildtoys.com but ...Hi, I tried emailing you at john@wildtoys.com but it didn't go through.. do you have a new email address?<br /><br />I just found a MMM 6300 with card at a garage sale for $2... wanted to know if you had any info on it..junksnotjunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532069797251263414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094127430358598488.post-1658501737113090762011-03-03T16:05:13.031-05:002011-03-03T16:05:13.031-05:00awesome John111awesome John111stevabushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12910638330690883830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094127430358598488.post-53047564254086607132011-01-14T21:41:15.562-05:002011-01-14T21:41:15.562-05:00Thanks for sharing this.

It's worth about 10K. How much do the other items on the list go for? Also, I've seen another "perfect" Gulf Oil MMM. From what I'm reading, many serious collectors still think they're fakes. Why are they all so perfect, I wonder. Why is there no record at all of their production? Would you put your stamp on other items that can't be traced back to Mattel?happy camperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02025977896540858237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094127430358598488.post-17911338913259687402009-12-18T07:12:01.013-05:002009-12-18T07:12:01.013-05:00In the mid sixties I entered a contest to win a Ma...In the mid sixties I entered a contest to win a Major Matt Mason Space Station. To win I had to color in the Funny Face cartoon characters I found in the Sunday comic section. My older sister did the same to win a Barbie playhouse. Months later I was coming home from school for my lunch and I saw a big box sitting on my home's front step. I brought it into my house and showed it to my mom. We had no idea what was in the box. As we opened the box I saw what it was and I yelled out "I won, I won". My mom had no idea what I was talking about. I had won the Major Matt Mason Space Station. The the next few years I added many items to the station. I had all of these space toys until I let my son sale them all on E-Bay only a few years ago.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12290027539656277612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3094127430358598488.post-31675523507964438142009-12-17T18:08:53.362-05:002009-12-17T18:08:53.362-05:00John,
