| From the Mattel Toys 1970 "Fall" Catalog |
To consider 6356 Orbitor with Or as being rare is an understatement, as it appears to have never been produced. Placing the Voyage to Galaxy III set in the same category, it should be considered as ultra-rare and also never produced! The only mention of this playset is in the same 1970 Mattel Catalog. Same deal as 6356 Orbitor with Or only accompanied by a Star Seeker and Matt on Cat Trac Card. Scans are from the 1970 Catalog.
Packaging:
Since I haven't seen any images of a box, I doubt if a mock-up exists, however a few sample boxes
may have been created, as the toy may have been shown at the 1970 Toy Fair.
Intended box size was 12" by 12" by 21 5/8"

UnknownJohn's Notes:
I'm not sure what Mattel was thinking of for this one. In any case I doubt if this combo-set even got close to production, as I've never even seen mock-ups of the box art. It would be interesting to see what they would have come up with. Packaging would probably be similar to the 6378 Talking Flying Matt Mason with Matt on Cat Trac Card displayed in a window. We will probably never know!Accessories also listed as part of:
- 6318 Major Matt Mason with Cat Trac
- 6356 Orbitor with Or
- 6357 Star Seeker
- 6386 Star Seeker Walk In Space Set
