My Major 1 recently arrived. I'm a tin robot guy usually, but I'm really enjoying the Major 1. Seems like he made friends with my Star Strider.

So, after I got my Major 1 robot I designed and laser cut an accessory "Charging Station" to display it in.  I had stayed in contact with Ron/Major 1 and he liked my design so much we actually started working together to produce more accessories for a complete retro-styled play-set.

 

I'm sure there will be an announcement here when Ron's ready, I just thought, in the interest of full disclosure, I'd say that although I was not affiliated with him before, I am now :)

I've got to admit, it's been fun to design.  I always made my own accessories and play sets for my robots and Mego figures when I was a kid, so this was like slipping on an old, comfortable sweater.

Granted a sweater that doesn't fit anymore and is really moth-eaten, but still :biggrin:

For those interested, here is a sneak peak of the six prop pieces (and stickers) I designed & laser cut to go with the Major 1 Robot play-set.

 

Assembly, painting and additional embellishments by Ron (Major 1) :)

 

Complete play-set pictures and more info to come soon...

Wow! Simply stunning!! Will these be produced, or were they simply prototypes?

Thanks :)

They were originally intended as just prototypes but the current trade situation with China has eliminated the possibility of having them manufactured.  So they will be laser cut to-order as kits.

More pics and info to come...

Thanks for compliments I owe it all to Tim...one of the greatest  toy manufactures ever....We have worked very hard to bring a play set to this Robot.... Unfortunately the Major1 Robot was def born in a era where kids have lost interest in playing with toys....what a shame...but no worries us adults still appreciate things like this....should be on line to order by Wed....
