Can someone please help identify this toy?

[Fuzzhead]

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I had this cool insect-like space helmet when I was a kid, and I don't remember what it was called. If anyone else had it, or knows what it was called, I would greatly appreciate some information. I posted it on the ebay forum, but nobody has responded. The first pic shows it in the original box. The second is a goofy little kid (me) wearing it. It is from 1981. Thanks

Ha ha, cute pics.

We're about the same age, so I thought I might know what it was...




but I don't. Sorry! Looks pretty cool though. Looks like some sort of bad guy helmet though. Actually kinda reminds me of the Rocketeer.

That's quite the freaky lookin' thing. haha! Too bad the words on the original packaging are blurred, eh?
I'm close to your age and I haven't a clue! Do you still have it?
Good luck...I hope someone can identify this for you!

Nobody knows what this thing was. I have asked so many people over the years, but I think I was the only one wo had it. It's hard to read in the scan, but the words in the yellow circle on the box say, "Electronic Creature Voice." It had a voice changer like the new Darth Vader helmets. I'm pretty sure it came from the Sears or JC Penny Christmas catalog. I was heavily into space things at that age, and would put that helmet on and fly my Micronauts Hornetroid around the room. No, I don't have it anymore. It disappeared a long time ago with the rest of my toys. Heh, maybe I should start a "post pics of you with your toys" thread. That might be fun.

Somehow, I knew that looked like a toy from Sears.

I want to say it looks like something out of Star Wars; but it looks more like something out of Lost in Space. I dunno.

Do you work at Sears? Maybe they have some vintage catalogs around somewhere.

My mom had a whole whack of vintage (70's to early 90's) Sears catalogues and I loved looking through them front to back....no recollection of it, though.

Oh, and I gave a bunch of them (the catalogues) to a friend a while back.

No, but I remember seeing all these odd, but yet cool toys there all the time when I was little, and this one reminds me of one of them. I've had a lot of their catalogs over the years, but not anymore, plus, I'm not that old.
