1975 Matchbox MAC Catalog- Mobile Action Command

[RSS]

1975 Matchbox MAC Catalogue   Matchbox MAC or “Mobile Action Command” is one of the 1970s most forgotten toy lines. That’s a shame because of how wonderful they really are.

I have vague memories of these toys, but the mountain playset makes me think of something I had years ago (so this is one of those posts). I remember when I would go my grandparents a brown plastic playset that was like a mountain pass or valley set up. I know that my grandmother picked it up at a second-hand store, and it was just the rocky terrain set up. I used it with my cowboy figures, even reenacting the ambush that's part of the Lone Ranger's origin. This would have been 1979 or 1980, and I'm wondering if it were part of MAC or something similar. Does this ring any bells for anyone?

Sounds like the Comanche Pass playset by Marx:

That's the right shade for the rocks, but it was horizontal than vertical. I'll look at other playsets like that one. Thanks.

Still suspect it is Marx. I am not familiar with this set, but maybe this one?

Wow, that Apache Mountain playset is impressive--imagine it with ReAction POTA.

I'm thinking that is it, or some other Marx set like it. I'll look through some Marx galleries. Thank you.
