Mission to Gamma 6 in Alden's Wishbook
The 1976 Alden's Catalog seems to be the only Wishbook that featured the Mego Star Trek "Mission to Gamma Six Playset". Exactly what Captain Kirk is doing in this photo is completely unknown.

Not sure what Kirk is doing? possibly under the hypnotic influence of Plato's stepchildren, also love the price tag on
Gamma VI playset, if only .. -
"Use 20 to 30 lb shipping weight figures"? Man, Alden's must have charged a fortune to ship this!
Oh, and Kirk is obviously busting some moves!Comment

Such a beautiful ad, I didn't even know this toy existed until I was an adult. As far as the shipping goes, regardless of the cost, the Gamma set is darned fragile.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

Rewatcing ST TOS ove4 past couple mon5hs. is this set based on season 3 episode 1 Spocks brain?Comment
-
I think this is based on the second season episode, "The Apple", with the feeders of Vaal.Comment

Was the playset originally planned for something else? Seems more Micronauts scale and only very loosely resembles Vaal. Looks more like an alligator than a serpent.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

they did have it set to be a Buck Rogers set too, but that was a few years laterComment

I think that catalog shot really captures the dancing that Capt Kirk regularly did during the series.
Doing the Robot to communicate during 'The Changeling.'
Break Dancing with Spock to confuse the androids of 'I, Mudd.'
Jazz Hands sharing a scene with Karidian in 'The Conscience of the King.'
Relaxing after some classical ballet during 'Plato's Step Children.'
WANTED - Solid-Boxed WGSH's, C.8 or better.Comment

One of the alien figures has a vague resemblance to the feeder aliens. Very vague.Comment

The ports allow the army man sized aliens to use their weapon oefs to pose on the structureComment

It's definitely scaled for 3.75 inch figures, though. The throne, the stairs, the trapdoor....it all screams 3 & 3/4 inch size figure.
