Remco Project Yankee Doodle Test Center Ideal Count Down, Deluxe Man in Space Ideal Astro Base, Mattel Major Matt Mason, Billy Blastoff sherryloutoys.com
@@lunarmodule6419 I got the Yankee Doodle Test Center. It was white bodied if you are asking about color. The next Christmas I wanted Ideals Astrobase but never got it. Bummer! Lol
How well I remember watching these on the old 15" Black and White TV back then. Yeah, back when $9.98 was half a weeks wages. I got the Astro Base 3:00 mark for Christmas 1961. Dad and his buddies totally wrecked the remote control buggy, and jammed the hatch so it wouldn't close. :'(
I fondly remember the hours I spent playing with Major Matt Mason and his friends.
Same! Probably my favorite toys ever.
"Destroy stray meteorites!" ...quite the promise for a toy!
They’re all awesome toys .
A must have
You call those Commies bluff and put them back to the Stone Age!!
😂
I got one of these for Christmas in 1959. Had alot of fun with it!!!!!!! LOL

Ho no! Not cool.
@@lunarmodule6419 What's not cool?
@@OdeeOz Dad wrecking the buggy :-(
I got it for Christmas as well. In my case, I eventually took it apart to see how it worked inside and could never get it back together right.
Half a week's wage so like a PS5 for a average white collar guy
Such cool toys, I love sci-fi!
INTERESTING I LOVE RETRO STUFF!!! THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD!!!
Your caps lock seems to be stuck
They don’t make ICBM toys the way they used to.
That was excellent, I’m still laughing!
I had the Astro Base when I was a kid. Sadly, I took it apart to see how it worked and couldn't ever get it back together right.
I had some toy that had a control panel but not much else. Haven't seen an ad for ityet
Great stuff thx - Hasbro bought all the competition. 😃
THERMO NUCLEAR WAR PLAYTIME

Got to love it.
Those don't look anything like Atlas or Titan rockets. They couldn't even get the Mercury capsule right
I'm sure the kids didn't care.
After Sputnik, everything was space.
1:02 Real missile blasts off!
$9.98 HA! In today's money that would be like $200 .
More like 85.00.
@@ardvarkkkkk1 it was more of an exaggeration than an estimate.

Todays kids would put an eye out.
Gen Z couldn't even figure out how to get the package open...lol
1:40 - "It's the Ideal Countdown!" ( queue music = Final Countdown )

I think they’re ICBM’s.
You think catfish have kittens. No mention of nuclear warheads that I heard.
They are still making these play sets today in North Korea................
Still looking for horrible hamelton
