Jiminy Christmas. I had those! Can't recall the color of my figures...but I do remember the starfighter being dual colored. Pretty sure my mom got them from the local neighborhood grocery. I had the rocket too!
I love this. I've always admired the small plastic spacemen of yesteryear, and so I was looking forward to the time I could sit down and watch this video. That piece of personal history at the end was the perfect conclusion. I didn't expect to see something like that at all, but it made me smile.
I had these as a kid. I still have them today. I bought the reissues too. I love these. As a kid, I would make playsets out of cardboard and poster paper. Just a fun little set. I never had the large size Rocket Fighter/X-wing. I never knew of the story. That's really neat. I used the Chewbacca like character as a good guy. Having no back story made for imaginative play. A great time to be a kid. LOVE YOUR STORY! THAT IS FUN! My mother kept a lot of my stuff too. MOMS ARE GREAT!
I kept thinking that I had these figures before but wasn't sure how or when until you tied it all up with Anteojito and Argentina. That is where I am from and how I got them. Anteojito was an extremely popular magazine for kids and buying the issues would get you the toy attached to it. Thanks for jogging my memory! I loved them.
Awesome video and another interesting watch. Another toy line I have not heard off, but we have similar toy lines in the UK. I can't believe you have your school project work.....that is awesome.
I got a set of these in the 90s. That were Purple, Blue, and green, they came as a box set with the mountain playset. Cool to finally know their origins, and see all the other color variations.
I'm a long time subscriber and I've seen everything you have produced. This video is hands-down, my favorite. You incorporated a great deal of detail regarding the Timmie Toys and even gave us a special bonus toward the end. Great job!
Hey Goji, I also did a video on these and other space figures! They’re such a great set and I didn’t know they made a larger version of the rocket fighter! So cool!
Wow. I know those figures and spaceship... I have two of the astronauts whoich came with one of those Apollo rockets. Then I got the issues of the magazine "Anteojito" from Argentina which came with those figures, but unfortunately one of them didn't have the corresponding figures, so I was missing two of them. I don't have them any more, I traded them for some WW2 soldiers IIRC, but they were larger than the astronauts from the Apollo rocket (which I still have). The kid to whom I traded them had the larger figures too (did you say they were like 5" tall?) I do still have the spaceship (which was very obviously based on the F-16, as you say - I have it in my hands right now, it's been collecting dust on top of my bookshelf). I also have all the comic issues of "Ekatón", so let me scan them and I'll send you a link. Oh, and the original issues of Anteojito which came with them, too. BTW, each issue came with TWO plastic figures, not one (except the one which came with the spaceship and no figures instead) , that's why I was missing two of them when the issue they had at the newsstand didn't have them. My aunt was the one who bought them from me, since the magazines came from Argentina and I'm from Peru, not all newsstands had them, but the one near her home did.
where are your pink and white figures? i remember having green, pink, white and blue figures in my set ...i still have a pink robot round here somewhere.
i misunderstood that you were saying the green ones are from your childhood.@@Gojitron1 GREAT VIDEO, btw. You did all the research that i never thought to do. I think i drew that crab monster, too. he was cool.
The robot reminds me of the robots in Silent Running 🤖
Amazing video! The Argentinian stuff is fascinating, and seeing your Space Wars story is a blast!
Yes! Gotta love the Timmee Mountains!!!!!!
Jiminy Christmas.

I love the Book!!!
I loved these as a kid and I still have some of them.
I love the fixed figure videos. Love the play mixing we all did as kids. Great video. Live your old school project

Such fond memories flooding back to me watching this video.
Great video Goji. Love that you still have that childhood story book you made. Love it. Space Wars👍😁
Thank you for making this.
A lot of playtime inspiration in the old line.
These are so cool! I loved playing with space figs like these and the classic "green army men"... you could get a bucket of them for pocket change.
I think I got mine at Woolworth, I had different sizes of these as well. Inhad a grey set that were bigger, like 3 and 3 quarter sized
Oh my gosh, a book by little Goji! A true nerd artifact. So nice that you still have it. ❤😊

These look neat. I kinda want a set

Love the book you made as a child. I had something similar but it is long gone now.

great video goji! i always appreciate seeing the extra stuff you bring up in these vids. that space wars comic was a huge treat too
Thank you!
The Starroid Raiders were fun.
There was another toy company that made big stationary figures of what looked like Flash Gordon characters in 1979.
This was amazing! thanks for posting such an awesome video!
Thanks!
I had the 5 inches and the rifle in Mexico.
There was a space ship at a larger scale
Space Yeti for the win!

Cool! I'll check it out.

Do you remember the midevel Knights that came in Red , Black , and White . Also i used the Guns of Navarone play set with my space guys.
I have a few original ones in a box.

Pink and white are original 70s colors. I have all reissues.
