That s REALLY cool man. Makes me glad I uploaded it. Did you get a boatload of toys for doing it? Do any other toy commercials?

Major Matt Mason was my first favorite toy. Thank you for uploading the commercial.

Great memories here. I remember playing with my MMM sets endlessly. I flexed Matt's arms so much one eventually broke off.

Major Matt Mason would be a huge movie success.

Brad Pitt as Major Matt Mason or somebody else.

Would be a fantastic movie.

Wonder why Hollywood has never explored such a movie?

Come on Hollywood, we want a Major Matt Mason Summer Blockbuster movie!

I was 3 when my uncle 9 got one of these,I wanted one in the worst way,had to settle for "Billy Blast Off" more age appropriate.damn i was mad!!! didn't know what Pissed was at that time)

If memory serves, Mattel came out with three more figures the very next Xmas. Two more Earth astronauts (one of them, African-American!); plus Callisto (a green-headed alien scientist from Jupiter).

P.S.---the exclamation point is to emphasize how progessive a non-Caucasian action-figure was, for that time period. I think the only other such action-figure, back then, was the clean-shaven member of GI Joe's Adventure Team!

MMM was the most marvelouu memories that I had in my chilhood, xmas, and many more. I had the entire collection...An unforgattable toy...sigh...

Got one on E-bay in mint cond. for $123 bucks and it's my prized possession !

You can't put a price on such a wonderful childhood mem. like that !

From what I read the other day- Tom Hanks will play MAJ MAtt Mason and one of the writers involved wrote fro the mini series- "From the Earth to the Moon" Hasbro is planning to come out with MMM toys/figures in 2012 along with the movie. I hope they make the orginals along with some contemorary things/legacy- i.e.- MMM Apollo, MMM Orion etc.

I took my Captain Lazer to my kindergarden for show and tell, and it got stolen at recess, never saw him again ;( . I got all the MMM accessories at one xmas. My mom made xmas's theme based. 1 year ALL MMM, the next ALL GI Joes, then ALL Tonkas, etc.. Ahhhhh the 70s were a great time to grow up.
