Mighty Max was released in 1976 by the Tomy corporation, the same company that would later release the Tron figures and Light Cycles.
All of the orange bolts on Max an be unscrewed to combine his parts into a variety of different Max styles. All of these joints make Max a very poseable figure.
Max comes with everything in this picture and a small orange wrench piece (not pictured) that can be used to tighten or loosen the bolts.
When the Maxi-Mobile, Max’s car, is turned on it will drive forward or backward until it hits a wall. The forks in the front and back will then reverse the engine sending Max in the other direction. There are also orange struts on the side of the Maxi-Mobile that Max can grip to do stunt riding. The yellow winch can also be used to haul items or help Max climb vertical heights.

I had on of these around the same time I had a Space 1999 Eagle.
Why did I break all of my old toys??!!??

I’m feelin a little guilty here because I still have MAX in his original box.
I always made sure to put him back in the box, because he is so cool.
My original Max from when I was a kid,
has a Gold Head and says made in Japan on the back.
About a year ago I was at a yard sale and I found another Mighty Max,
with no box and missing the mobile machine.
But this Max has a Silver Head and says made in Hong Kong on the back.
I am now wondering which Mighty Max came first Silver head or Gold head?

Holy crap! Thank you for helping me identify several toys from my childhood that I had recollections of, but had forgotten their names. Specifically Mighty Max, the Metal Men and the StarBird Space Avenger.
You’re doing God’s work. Thanks again!!!
