The Radon from Zylmex has nothing written on the bottom of his feets. Just found out that the Radon I have I never know what it was. Until I was looking for TH3 and on this site came. Bravo!

I thought this was just a dream I had when I was 7. I remember seeing these guys at a truck stop store in mid-Michigan and wanting them so bad. We only went by that place every few weeks, and when I had money and returned they were gone! I remember what a couple looked like, and today I identified one as Radon Robot / Sky Sled Set! Took 30 years to know what I saw!

Hi, Thanks for posting this information! I found the major mercury and the Nasa1 ship on a close-out table at Shop Rite. This was waaaay back in the mid-70s. I was a kid at the time and didnt know anything of this toy. Well, I found it in a tote just today in my garage and decided to research it. Thanks again for listing these cool toys here or I would probably have remained ignorant to the metal man toy line!

Michael, the U.S. versions still said Zylmex on the feet, because mine do, and I never got toys from outside the U.S. I’ve got Roton and Questar, remember getting them when I was very young.

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?
