CIPSA Art. 4993 Cripton El Perverso!

Cripton El Perverso!

A rehash of Callisto, Cripton appears on the colorful CIPSA-produced box front with the same appearance as the US release, including purple sensor and pump. Inside the box, however (loose with no inserts and Spanish instruction sheet), the figure differs in that it is molded in a semi-translucent green with bright blue boots and very few painted details.  

Spanish translations by Paul Vreede:

CIPSA Cripton Box Contents

Cripton floats loose in the box with no inserts and Spanish instruction sheet. The figure differs in that it is molded in a semi-translucent green with bright blue boots and very little painted details. The accessories are molded in an ugly dark brown (with a gold-brown string instead of the yellow-gold) and the decal sheet is cheaply made (crappy pulp paper) and lacking detail.

CIPSA #4993 Cripton (Callisto)

Cripton was the CIPSA of Mexico version of Callisto's "Evil Twin."

Sticker Sheet:

John's Notes:

Cripton can be found loose in Mexico and in the various online markets, often with broken wires and a lot of damage. His accessories are often melted if stored with a figure - seems this is very common with the soft plastic used in the molding process. I believe the Cripton variation to be quite rare boxed, having only seen a very few examples.

Cripton may be found more commonly as Callisto in multiple variations, within several card variations and boxed playsets. I've listed most of the card variations above. He may also be found in:

• 6331 Callisto
  
• A6334 MATTEL'S MEN IN SPACE ASSORTMENT
  
• A6335 MATTEL'S MEN IN SPACE ASSORTMENT
  
• 6337 Space Mission Team
  
• 6353 Lunar Base Command Set
  
• 6355 Space Discovery Set
