Oh no you didn't !

Capitan Futuro, Mattel, 1980, Italy

This is the pinacle of cost-cutting design in the story of Italian toy-making. You take the surplus of previous diecast success (Goldrake), change head and torso, keep the rest, restyle, repaint and voilà...

I agree that Popy's figurine had it all wrong due to the lack of details and wrong colours, but this is on another level. Mary Shelley beware ! You have some serious competition !
