This particular version also came in brown and silver, gold one is more difficult to find. Note the box has a 'Telsalda' label affixed, This company is better known for importing plastic model cars and other toys into the UK from Hong Kong.

Both have the same actions, the earlier Swivel O Matic has plastic lens inserts in the dials below the chest area and is generally a nicer quality item, the Rotate O Matic appears to have undergone some cost cutting no doubt to increase sales and profits. http://mrmercury.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=46257022 46257022 Silver Brown Gold Attacking Martian trio (O) The three colour versions of the first type Attacking Martian.
