He's our version of Wonder Bread He-Man. Now both mysteries are solved.

Heck yeah this IS the wonder bread he man Mego version of a figure. I was 3 so I don't know 💯🤣

Kinda cool how these mysteries exist (and are being solved) in many of the action figure “families”: Mego, MOTU, and for GI Joe fans, the origins of the Action Force “gray Flash” were recently uncovered as well. What’s next?! 😳

Yes, Sky Guy made it into production. I remember seeing this box in a toy store back in the 1970's.

@BrickMantooth 8 ай бұрын

Yeah after the video dropped, a couple of boxed ones have surfaced, so he got sold somewhere but likely in a small run.

After the irreplaceable "knock offs" episodes, I love these "Mysterious Origin, finally found" installments. Even when I've never heard of the item, it's a shared experience to have a half- remembered toy keep cropping up in your memory (and how much has been changed by your imagination over time?).

It's amazing that there are still things out there to discover from a toy line that is that old

WOW! I used to have that figure and always wondered what the story was. The only information I was ever given was that he was the Planet of the Apes Astronaut...which I knew was incorrect. Now I wish I still had the figure! Thanks for posting a video answering this decades old question!

Too Cool Mystery Solved. Excellent news.

@timothyvaughn8311 8 ай бұрын

I don't know if you remember, but I shared that we, my brother and myself found him at the swap shop flea market in Fort Lauderdale in the mid to late 70s along with Kojak figures packaged the same way, the Kojak figure came with all accessories, very cool and thank you

I am always so shocked when these mysteries get solved after all these years. Stuff just sitting somewhere waiting to be discovered. Thanks for this video and thanks to Jordan. I just want to clarify something. It sounds like the comment on your video saying "I just got one at the flea market" was not Jordan? That all of a sudden it's possible that two in boxes have popped into existence? If so double WOW!

@Gappasaurus 8 ай бұрын

While possible, it’s 99% likely the “flea market find” commenter was just a troll, especially since they didn’t reply to the followup question 🙄

Man, I don't remember this particular figure but I do love the video Brian. 💯👍

@paranoidtubepill536 8 ай бұрын

Woooow! a great discovery! I think that was common practice of Yesteryear big toys companies producing some of the toys for smaller ones ... its a primitive form of outsourcing and keep production and molds alive. Sky Guy is here thanks to that practice. Awesome story and keep the Mego flame alive!

I saw this guy in a baggy on the cheap toys rotating display at our neighbourhood newsagent here in Melbourne, Australia in the mid 1970s and desperately wanted him for the helmet. Why? Because I wanted my Action Jackson (beardless version) to become an astronaut. I never got him because my mother didn't see my need for a second 8-inch guy in blue jumpsuit.

What happens when Marty watches this or hears about this? This is a satisfying result to the mystery.

@scottstalcup6980 8 ай бұрын

Now the next mystery, Brian: Do any pictures exist of Marty where his hair looks less than magnificent? Shame that we never got to see a throwdown between SkyGuy and Tobor. Thanks for nothing, Schaper!

Amazing! I wonder if that's the late Hal Shull's artwork on the package?

@BrickMantooth 8 ай бұрын

That's a good question!

@Scotty-Z70 8 ай бұрын

i have had so many figures that i never knew what they were until the internet, mostly robots that are KO or from an obscure Japanese robot animation that never made it to America, but the toy did.
