Toy-Ventures: The Zython from Mattel's Space:1999 line

[RSS]

This week we talk about one of the rarest action figures I've ever come across, the highly elusive Zython from the Mattel Space:1999 action figure collection. I don't own this incredibly rare carded example but thankfully, I do know someone that has one and I examine it and give it's interesting back story.

Maybe it was just my connection, but there's about 30 seconds of black at 4:37 and the audio drops out for about 30 seconds when you say "I'll read the text on this ad" at around 5:15.

I see it could be me because I can never get to your video by clicking on the link here. I have to go to Youtube directly so maybe there's something on my end.

For Some reason, the German translation track isn't audible, so until i fix the video, here it is transcribed:
In Zack 12, Zack starts a new competition. 333 times, the top team of
Alpha 1 will be raffled: one original Mattel doll from Commander
Koenig, Professor Victor Bergman, Chief Physician Helena Russell and
(as a scary effect) a monster doll whose head glows green in the dark.
With these figures you can even play the exciting Alpha 1 stories from
Zack, so make science fiction at home in your own shack.

^ I also had the same viewing experience. Great segment on a very unique figure I wish was easy to obtain. Love these videos and the history behind these toys.

He looks like a figure Burl Ives might have voiced in a stop motion feature.

Thanks. I really enjoy these videos. I especially enjoy the ones surrounding toys I was never really into. You make them very interesting and suddenly I feel like I need a Zython

I liked this one a lot, I've admired and coveted Zython/Nocton since I learned of him. The robe and accessories on the 1999 version are lovely.

Seeing one of these in person at this year's meet was a highlight for me. I never thought I'd hold one in my own hands, I got a really good look at the card and figure, that was great.
