I knew I had MASKATRON when I was little.

hahahahahha I have not seen it since 1976....WHEW!!!

76,86,96, 2006, 2010 WHAAAA!!!!

I had that toy. The jaws on his arm didn't grab worth shit and the plunger was one of the dumber ideas when it came to weapons but the pop off head was spectacular. I could make my sister freak out in an instant by telling her that all people had a head-ejection button and that I was going to find her's. I'm definetly going to burn in hell for that one.

@1027sterling I still have that doll-missing one arm. It's called "Pulsar" man of adventure.

I had Maskatron too. Even as a kid I thought it was cheaply made. I said the springs used to "launch" the weapons sucked. They were too weak. The head did pop off better but the doll would cock it's head back and forth before it would release. Alot of work for a kid just to launch his head!

The episode of SMDM with Maskatron (John Saxon) in it was one oft he best, EVER.

I just don't like that Maskatron guy.HE'S NO GOOD I TELL YA!!!!

Little known fact....shortly after recieving bionic limbs (his left arm,both legs) and his bionic eye,he inadvertently ripped his nose right off his head in an attempt to pick it.Also,Oscar Goldman was an introvert

[MasterJediDude]

Hey, don't knock the plunger. That suction cup actually worked and my Maskatron could hang off of cabinets and climb the refrigerator. You know, until the springs wore out and he arm wouldn't stay in place anymore. He was pretty cool -- and he had purple underwear!

@1027sterling I had one one of those. He also had a jacket with a Velcro fastener.

I can't remember the name of the action figure I had in the 70's- the intestines were visable and when I pushed a button in his back it would circulate red fluid with air bubbles around his tubing GI tract. There was also a disk that looked like a miniture CD which installed in his brain. looked a lot like 6 mil dollar man. Anybody know this one?
