Tom Hanks to Star in Major Matt Mason Movie

^ Same, except for Morn because I was an adult by that point (who of course, never played with any toys, no sir).
 
I had some Micronauts including Biotron who was pretty cool and very 70s weird. The Six Million Dollar Man had some pretty 70s villains too what with the Westworld knockoff robot, Bigfoot and the Venus Space Probe! I watched that one with the probe not too long ago and it's surprisingly menacing and creepy even now.


Were you a kid or an adult? Probably more figures owned by adults than kids lol. I had a still carded Morn I got rid of that I wish I had held onto, I mean it's a figure...of Morn...for goodness sake.
I was a kid, so they all ended up out of the packing and were played with.
 
I was never a collector, just a player. Which is why very few survived my childhood. :lol:
When I was in college, my mother let all her grandkids play with my toys, especially my hot wheels. Then the great-grandkids, too. Last time I saw a survivor car, most of the paint was beat off of it from endless collisions. :weep:

The first probe, or the second one that he actually had to blow up with a bomb, because there was no screwhole to attach a helicopter to?

I sense a rhetorical question lol but I think it was the first but I don’t even remember how he ultimately dispatched it.

I got a big kick out of seeing my nephew playing with my beat-up beloved Matchbox Pantera that my mother had somehow held onto through multiple decades and countless young guests.
 
The Major Matt Mason movie was mentioned in this Saturday's MeTV newsletter, so it must be happening. :rommie:

No, no rhetorical question. There were actually two probes, one that got sent, passed through Venus' atmosphere and hardened to where only a nuke could destroy it, but because it was now pressurized for Venus' atmosphere, could be destroyed by depressurizing it. It had a flat top with a screwhole, so Steve Austin got on it, screwed a hook into the hole, attached a cable to a helicopter to the hook, and hoisted the probe up until internal pressure made it explode.

The second made the trip, but didn't make the pass through the atmosphere (I think this was unknown at first), and they didn't know how to destroy it because it had a domed top with no screwhole. I don't remember how they destroyed that one.

Acid bath, complete with the cliche of a hand , uh, pincer, vainly grasping at air as it sinks to ultimately dissolve.

Maybe it was giving a thumbs up but didn't have the means to articulate it. ;)

Just watched it again and looks like they used the helicopter on it again but the second time they used a net to move it.
