Many thanks for posting this rare ad. I had an Astro-Nautilus back in the 60s but had forgotten all about it till recently. Wish I had kept it now. Very rare as few were produced -- and selling for big buck on eBay etc.

I just happened to check the Four Horseman's website and saw that they are bringing these back. I remember these when I was a kid on the Colorforms box and wanted them badly! For years I was hoping for these. They have stayed in my memory all these years and I am thrilled I can finally get a hold of them. These are still unique, artistic, creative and stand in a category all their own. The Four Horseman and Mel Birnkrant...what a combo! I don't collect much anymore but I am going to get these!
I had "3-way" adventures w/ the Zeroids added into the mix;; Ideal "Motorific" mini-motors powering Zeroid robots were so powerful that you could've them carry Matt Mason, Sgt. Storm, Jeff Long, & Doug Davis piggyback, & also smaller Outer Space Men like Alpha 7, Xodiac, Electron +, but a No-Go for Commander Comet, Colossus Rex, Orbitron, & Aqua-Nautilus;
All the same scale, but from 3 different manufacturers, Colorforms, Mattel, & Ideal, toy designers/makers were savvy then;)
Happy memories!

@thesurpriseshow Sounds like you had a childhood rich in toy-tastic memories! if you're interested. Four Horsemen Design Studios is releasing a new line of OSM figures next month. Check it out!

Oh my God, I'm not sure I ever saw the commercial back then but my brothers and I had all of these figures! Still do, though they're much worse for wear! :-)
