Airgam Boys - Space

[gort]

The Spanish toyline Airgam Boys covers a lot of themes (in a similar way to Playmobil) but it was their space figures from the early 80's that really caught my attention.



I love this type of generic space toy with characters that wouldn't look out of place in a 50's comic strip or B-movie. They've proven quite difficult to track down and never seem to show up loose, but with the arrival of my latest set it finally looks like the beginings of a collection.











I'm not much of a MIB collector but I do like the box art as well. Also if I ever manage to track down some loose figures then arming them shouldn't be a problem. The boxed sets come with a huge selection of funky ray guns.

Wow! Space Monkeys, robots and dinosaurs? What's not to love?

[THE KNOCK-OFF MESSIAH]

wow i wish i collected playmobile. either way i wouldnt turn these away. theyre crazy! awesome line

[matt]

there is also a super hero line from airgam. they are all knockoff heros with made up villians. I just got the knockoff batman (hes called bird man). The skull fig is also from the super hero line (big suprise hes a villian). I'll get pics up over the weekend

[gort]

Some of the Airgam Comics figures are amazing, the yellow figure on the left with the saw discs on his arms is Urak from this line.

[matt]

thats great cause the yellow guy is from the villians set also except purple and no disks called el diaboloco (sp?)

[matt]

here are the pics of the fig I was talking about earlier

[gort]

Thanks for the pics Matt, good to see the cardback.

Spector and Piranha are on my hit list ;D There was also a later wave featuring knee and elbow joints, they seem to have stopped knocking off other characters and come up with their own by this time. I have Urak from the 2nd wave and I want a lot of the others.



There's also a castle for the Super Diabolics (bad guys)

Cool line, but something tells me these are pretty esspensive.

[clambo]

No, actually they aren't. I've contemplated buying these to go along with my collection of the DC Direct rerelease of the pocket heroes. They are very similar.

[daltron]

Cool, where do you get them? I want to buy a couple...Maybe.

[gort]

Prices vary, I've seen some of the Airgam Comics on offer from US sellers cheaply enough. Not much loose stuff tends to show up, and when it does it tends to be in lots with a bunch of pesky civilians I have no interest in.

[daltron]

Cool, I see...5 to 10 bucks a piece, not bad. Thanks

[matt]

daltron they are pretty cheap. I got mine for 10 plus shipping. They remind me alot of playmobile

Funky Airgam Boys bootleg from Greece



Made by Pyro Plast, it appears to be licensed as it keeps the same name and the box photos are of genuine products, but the colours are different quality is nothing like as good.

Found these 2 last week and since there wasn't a picture of a loose Piranha yet, I just wanted to share.

[toyboxraider]

Great find man, I like that these two harken back to the Monsters style of the old Universals. Kinda a Drac/Mummy and a Creature look but still retaining the futuristic Space Toy theme too.

[gort]

Never seen a close up of Piranha before, cool head sculpt.

Thanks for the pic, Ghool.

[Ghouldrool]

Hey guys,
I remember seeing this before, but I can't for the life of me figure out what series he belongs to. There are no markings on it. Any guesses?

[Hudasa21]

He's a Super Diabolic, his name is Uruk, the name of the line is Airgam Comics, this line was released in 1986 as one of the several Airgam lines, kinda Playmobil toys.
