Atlantic Toys Galaxy Serie

Atlantic was an Italian toy company that existed from 1966 to 1984, best known for their scale model soldiers. Starting in 1978, they jumped on the sci fi bandwagon and introduced a new line of space themed figures and accessories called Galaxy Serie, or Galaxy Series. The line included seven figures, a half dozen vehicles, a playset and a space checkers board game.

The cool thing about Galaxie Serie is the resemblance to 70’s and 80’s European sci fi graphic novels, Heavy Metal being the best known among them. You can almost see Mobius in these figures.

The first series of figures included Sky-Man, Humbot the robot, Zephton, the evil nemesis, and Dynatlon, the evil robot. The second group of figures, which are much more rare, brought Sky-Girl (a love interest?), Hypnos (no relation to the enemy of Pulsar) and Sloggy, the alien snail man, that I want more than any other figure in the line.
