This toy is quite amazing, really. It is my "customized" Skystriker with both Action Force and GI JOE stickersheets (but originally it came with the AF box If I remember well). Now all I need is to find an USS Flag somewhere where I can land this aircraft 😄
This blog is an ongoing listing of space toys, superheroes and just about anything I find worthwhile saving as a collector. Please enjoy !

Albator - le jeu (the game)
Le Jeu d'Albator, Orli Jouet, Italy, 1979 |
In the series of board games based on my childhood heroes, this one is the French (but made in Italy ???) ORLI JOUET game of Albator. Why did the French continuesly put robots in their renderings of Matsumoto's Space Pirate is still a pending question. (it started in the French-drawn Albator comics in the Capitaine Fulgur magazines, but here too, you have robotic drawings on the tokens that suposedly should represent the Sylvidres / Mazones...)
It's lacking Matsumoto's original artwork, except for 3 small images of the cartoon... from the cartoon |
