Metal-Man by Zee Toys

[clambo]

Anyone know anything about these figures and vehicles? Years they were produced, rough value, etc. I keep running across them and was curious. It took me a minute to even figure out what they were. They remind me of Micronauts.

They were 3 3/4" in size and made of diecast metal and were pretty similar to the Micronauts figures. I think they only produced a few figures and diecast vehicles. I had 4 of the figures when I was a kid but Ebayed them off a few years ago . I have a site bookmarked somewhere with more info and will post it when I find the link.

Major Mercury
Radon
Roton
Questor
Corporal Chrome
Sargeant Silver

I picked up one of these guys a while back and love him.

For those of you that don't know, they were 3 3/4 figs made in the late 70's. The figures themselves were solid metal and nicely articulated. If I get a chance, I'll post a pic.

I don't have too much knowledge on the line, aside from the fact they're rad!!

I guess my biggest question would be about the accessories. It looks like some of the same figures were released with and without accessories. Does any one have any good pics of what went with whom? Are there any good websites for these guys? I found one, but it had mostly low res carded pics.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Dude! Metal Man is awesome! I got the three robot-looking guys in a 3-pack when I was a kid!

Here's an excellent site for Metal Man (as well as other things too!).

All I have, at this point, is Questar with the backpack. I'd love to pick up more though.

Are these guys hard to find? I haven't seen too many on Ebay.

I got the Radon figure as a kid. He came in the box packaging and without any accesories.

At the moment he's in pieces and I can't find the front of the torsso to re-assemble him

The boxed figures in the link (thanks Sandfords) are the Zylmex version, but my box is a Zee Toys one. The box back doesn't list the non-robot figures by name.



I've seen a few on ebay, they tend to be around the $15-$25 mark loose

I had a MOC Roton, but I traded him for some common GIJoes

I'll try to get it back... ;D

]Hey I picked these up the other day I thought they were Micronauts the build is about the same

[80s Action Figures]

Those are from the awsome Metal Men Line. I always loved the blue guy (named Radon!) you also have Major Mercury!

[funkyterrance]

Very cool! The second guy looks like hes been around the block a few times lol. Completely die cast metal sounds rad, they must weigh a ton eh?

[deadpool0207]

AWESOME Thanks! Im pretty stoked about the Radon figure he reminds me of ROM and yeah the other guy does weigh a bit.... I actually got 2 of him but the other was missing an arm

[rihia2k]

I find that Major Mercury figure fascinating for some reason, I dunno, just a real moody sculpt or something. What's the posability like on these critters?

[80s Action Figures]

Yes he does kinda look like ROM...

Some of these figures are really heavy...like that ape from Bionic Six...I think the Major might have him beat though.

[deadpool0207]

The Radon figure has alot but the other guy is kinda limited mainly because I was afraid an arm would pop off

[proteus]

rom ruled... i would love to get me an original rom-

[proteus]

these figures were as heavy as hell- what was that alloy- plutonium?
