        apparently it's quite rare these days. I remember playing with it with my little brother, who actually owned it. it was cool looking with the lava bits. I put the pieces up on ebay as a parts lot.

          I don't recall it at all and I was never very impressed with the figures. But of itself, the playset now seems wonderful.

            This is best suited for Big Jim and looks best in Jim's hand. As you can see in pics, It has "Hong Kong" as its only marking.
            What ever toy line its for or Whoever made it, It is pretty solid and well made and sculpted!

                  ^^ Could be early LJN ball joints?, but the figures looked mashed-up in every way…

                    Man overseas stuff is tough. I wager on DynaGirl or something like that. Seems like there is so much stuff over there that we probably never know about

                      Mystery Orange Cannon.. Is anyone still reading this topic???

                      Cannon.jpg

                      Cannon (1).jpg

                      Cannon (2).jpg

                      Got this from a fellow collector along with other vintage goodies. like some Empire Helicopter pieces, Mighty crusader holsters and other stuff. The cannon is unmarked no trademark makers-mark etc. It appears to fire a projectile which is missing.

                        Picked up some interesting bits in a vintage lot… would appreciate any help to ID these:

                        1. Boots are just like the AHI monster boots, but scaled a little smaller and rubbery.

                        2. The military shirt is 1/9 to 1/10 scale and similar to many other shirts of the era, but with really nice buttons and a "Made in Japan" tag.

                            ^^ Haha!… an older fun mash-up that keep playing around with, and good for monster-boots comparison.

                              The camo shirt could be from Topper's Tigers figures (1966 I think):
