| Major Matt Mason from Le Solei 1969.10.14 |
Some of these are random images sent to me by MMM collectors - others I've found in some of the public online Canadian periodical search engines. - I've attributed them to various newspapers with dates if possible. Note the reuse of various artwork, probably supplied by Mattel Canada LTD (as much of it seems unique to the Canadian market), for use by the various retailers. From the dates I'd say there was a big push to get Major Matt Mason into stores during November of 1967.
