Vintage Major Matt Mason, Sgt Storm, Jeff Long, Doug Davis, and Callisto
Vintage 1966 or 1967 Mattel Major Matt Mason Man in Space, plus his entire crew of Sgt Storm, Jeff Long, and Doug Davis, plus Callisto.
Condition is used (lovingly played with when I was a kid).  Shipping is via USPS Priority Mail.
I was a child in the 60's when Major Matt Mason came out and these were some of the many Major Matt Mason toys I had.
I think these were some of the earliest figures I had as they were "well played with" and have a variety of "injuries."
I like to think of these guys, and their equipment, as "experienced" as they've had to make due with some issues.
I'll discuss each figure individually, but all have multiple broken wires.
All four helmets are without their visors.  Only the Major's helmet has the "black stripe" near the base.
All figures have "wear" on their uniforms, ranging from "extremely minor" (almost none) to "severe".
Let's start with Major Matt Mason himeself
.  He's the figure in the best condition.  His face is excellent and his hair is good with just a couple minor scratches and a wear spot just above the nape of the neck.
His uniform looks quite good with the original blue straps and red dots.  It's dirty, and there are some smudges, but I don't see any areas where the white has worn off.  I think his gloves were originally had some silver that  has worn off.
Visually, he looks quite good and could display quite well. I've included some extra pictures at the end of him because his uniform is in pretty good shape.
His upper body remains in good shape with intact shoulder and elbow wires.
Both hip and knee wires are broken.
Now let's see Sgt Storm
.  His face and hair seem in excellent condition. His  uniform front looks pretty good with a little wear on his right knee, right front hip, and right bicep.
His back shows more wear on his butt, left arm, and some wear on his legs.  There are also some wear spots on his arms. There is a white spot on his right side just below the blue belt.
His left shoulder wire is broken
Both hip wires are broken
His right elbow wire is broken.
His left elbow wire is broken at the top and exposed.  So it's possible to bend the elbow itself but there's a wire exposed at the top of the elbow joint that can pop out.
Let's examine Jeff Long
.  His face and hair look great. He has numerous small patches of uniform that has worn off, speciall on his left torso.  He has a couple large patches of wear above his right hip and on his left ththigh.
His left shoulder wire is broken
Both hip wires are broken
His left knee wire is broken and partly exposed.
His elbows and right knee wires are intact.
Let's examine Doug Davis
.  Like the rest of the crew, his face and hair look very good. He has a small black spot at the right corner of his mouth. His right eyebrow seems to extend into his hair.  I think that was the original painting.
He has a lot of uniform wear with a huge patch across his torso above his front left hip and extending across his back to his right side.  Big patches of wearch across his back and both thighs and both sides of his front chest.
Something melted, or maybe it's a greenish-blue glue or paint, on his right arm, starting above, and extending below, his elbow.
Both shoulder wires are broken
Both hip wires are broken.
His knee and elbow wires seem intact.
I think these were the second Major Matt Mason and Sgt Storm figures I had, so they weren't quite as abused as the first ones.  These were the first Jeff Long and Doug Davis figures I had, so they received a lot of lplay.
Similarly, this was the first Callisto figure I had, and he's in as bad, or worse, condition as the humans discussed above.
L
et's look at Callisto.
His face looks pretty good but has some minor wear.
His uniform wear isn't quite as obvious since he was/is black underneath, but there's no missing that his entire butt has worn off, as well as back of his shoulders and some on his side.
There's wear on his gloves as well and where his purple weapon attaches to his neck.
Both shoulder wires are broken and the left shoulder can "pop out" and be exposed.
The shoulder wire breaks cause his hands to be in odd positions that are hard to fix, even though the elbow/arm wires seem intact.
His right hip wire is broken.
Both leg wires are broken just above his boots.
All-in-all, he's sort of a sad-looking fellow....
Let's review their equipment.
The red and white half-tracks seem good.
The space-sled is dinged up and shows a lot of wear but is intact.
The jet pack belt is gone and replaced with string.  The jet pack "thread" was removed because it never seemed to work for me.
Callisto's "weapon" will extend a couple inches, which is less than I think it should when I attached an "air bladder" and tube to test it.
I do not have the "air bladder" and tube for this figure, thus it is not included.
Please examine the pictures to see the condition of the pieces.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns.  I tried to describe all the damange and main wear but did not try to capture every little nick, etc.
I am listing a few of my other toys from the sixties this week (GI Joe and Sea Devils).  If you are the winning bidder on multiple items I will combine shipping.
By default I typically send things via priority mail becaues of the simplicity of the flat rate boxes. I am confident I can get sll these guys and their equipment into a medium flat rate box and have set up the listing to reflect that.  However, if the buyer prefers 1st class mail to save some shipping costs, I am willing to try to do that and will adjust shipping costs with the winning bidder.  We can discuss that after the auction concludes or you can ask me about it during the auction.

UPDATE REGARIND SPACE SLED:       I looked at the space sled and just realized that the "console part" is glued to the "sled portion. I think that fits the "experienced crew" that has had to make due but I apologize that I did not include that in the original listing description.
