Hi, I was wondering…could you tell me – did all the metal men figures have “Zelmex” printed on the bottom of the figure’s feet? I mean, I know that in the U.S. it was distributed by Zee Toys, but did it still carry the Zelmex copyright imprint on the actual figure? Or was it converted ot Zee Toys?

I ask, because I have a figure that my father bought for me, and I was trying to remember if he would have bought it for me out of the country or in the U.S.?

Thanks

I have the all metal man ROTON figure if someone is interested. It has red upper body – looks to be complete. I am probably listing it on Ebay unless someone is interested. Contact Clynnhughes@yahoo.com if you would like pictures and more information.

How rare are the Radon accessories? I have his orange helmet and blue weapon that I got in a lot of Micronaut accessories. Do prices compare with the later Micronaut alien weapons- especially Lobros & Kronos?

Plain figure in good condition, $5. From the late 70′s.

We are selling my husband’s robot collection from the 50′s. 60′s, early 70′s.
We have 2 Radons – one perfect, other without one arm.
What are these worth in today’s market? I have no accessories or package.
What is the time frame for these Metal Man figures?
Thanks for any advice.
J.

Hey! I snagged one of these off eBay many, many years ago (maybe 1999?). It was merely listed as “metal robot”. Took me a few more years on Flickr before a Micronaut enthusiast could tell me where the figure was bootlegged from.

Anyway, here’s a pic of my Microman Gakeen errrrr, I mean my Metal Man Questar:

Yeah I still have 2 Radons a Questar a Roton and a Mercury guy.
I never really thought they would be worth anything.
Those toys were rude and crude.
I dont like touching them because you get that metal smell on your hands.
