Galaxy Laser Team: the greatest gumball machine plastic toys ever cast



Kirk Demarais of the Secret Fun Blog looks into the series of space monster plastic figurines from the late '70s known as the Galaxy Laser Team.

Since then, clues about the series have popped up around the web, and now they are commonly known as the Galaxy Laser Team (except for the time they were packaged as Star Patrol.) They were initially produced at the Processed Plastic Factory in Illinois and sold by Tim-Mee toys in 1978. Five-inch jumbo versions of the characters showed up in 1979, and later they became a product of Mexico. The set combined the fun of classic, plastic soldiers with our unquenchable craving for all things Star Wars, thus, during the handful of years that they were available they generated countless fond memories in young brains around the globe.
