ID help - Astro Magnum KO?

[GoktimusPrime]

Are the thighs plastic or metal? They should be metal. Otherwise it looks the same as the one I had as a kid... but maybe my memory's fuzzy... I haven't seen my Astro Magnum in over a decade No idea about the box... that I haven't seen in over 26-27 years!

I only have this rather fuzzy photo of my Astro Magnum:

I still have the original photograph... I might see if I can scan it in at a higher resolution (won't be able to do it until next week though)
P.S. ignore the mid-arms... they were entirely covered in blu tac after my mum stepped on the toy in 1987

The actual thighs are plastic (though the inner thigh springs and the thick joining rod are metal).

Also, the only indication as to who the manufacturer is are the letters "HK." There's also no Copyright mark, trade mark or anything like that.

So you don't have yours anymore? Sorry to hear that your mum stepped on it .

Hmmm from memory, my neighbor owned an Astro Magnum and as far as I remember the thighs are metal and the pink plastic of the hand and gun is light. It also says magnoid and thorp on the switch at the backpack for the choice on sound effects.

Thanks for the info, liege. Then the one I have is definitely different, because it has the words "Vulcan" and "Magnum" for the sound effects switch.

Here's my Astro Magnum. The clear parts are a light pink and there are quite a few stickers already factory applied. The label on the back says 'Bulcan' and 'Magnum'. The only stamping is a Toyco logo on the inside right leg.
I've seen another style of box with vertical artwork but as far as I know the toy inside is the same.

Ahh.. mine must be a KO then... since it's not a ToyCo one. Yours looks awesome btw, a really nice specimen. Thanks for sharing!

Thats the one I had as a kid. Had all the metal and in that colour. Every bit as good as Shockwave. The other one with the plastic I saw once at the easter show.
