No markings on this one. Comes from France and seller claims it is a Ferrero Kinder Surprise toy.

Has the size of a Lego minifig.

And the design is obviously based on The Battle of the Planets 7 Zark 7...

... is this green thing where you put gasoline ?

At least he wears a helmet !

The real thing was quite popular in France ...

It's the Man of Action in Space ?

In the USA you had GI JOE, here in Europe he was redubbed ACTION MAN. Not a doll... an action figurine ! Most of the early ones wore military outfits, but this astronaut is pretty much up to specs with the first spacesuits of the Gemini and Mercury missions at NASA. (see more about Action Man here).

The original suits were made by the (now defunct) tire company B.F. GOODRICH and were at the time as critical as any of the other equipment developped for NASA to get people in space. See more about this here.

O robot full of air...

Robocon, Popy, Japan, 1970's

I wished I had this one in the swimming pool when I was a kid, instead of the usual ducky floating devices... but then, with all of the circuits in his belly, maybe not a good idea after all 😁...

This is one of the toys that makes me smile, and a perfect addition to the other Robocons in the collection.
