These fun little guys were made by the Imperial Toy Corporation from about 1971-1974. After 1974 they replaced these designs with the vastly inferior types that you can still find today. I managed to keep nine of these guys from my childhood. I have parachutes for most of these guys, but I keep them separate to avoid tangling. I've done some some touching up of eye and helmet paint to make my collection look as new as possible.
These guys were my favorites when I was a kid. They made great astronauts or space toys long after their parachutes got tangled and ripped. I used to launch them up in my Estes rockets and bombard and flood their sandbox fortresses.
Somebody here must remember these guys. I'd love to chat, trade, etc. if anybody's got any of these guys.
