Ideal 4649-0 Missile Defense Pad

4649-0 Missile Defense Pad Box Front

The 1970 Ideal catalog introduced two boxed accessories - presumably these were offered up as a replacement to the now missing Zeroid Commander Action Set and Zeroid Action Set, which seem to no longer be offered. This version of the Missile Defense Pad is interesting as it's in a new red color instead of the original somewhat boring tan color.

Packaging:

Closed box with painted artwork details on all four sides.

(First appearance: Ideal Toy Corporation 1970 "Toys - Games - Dolls - Vinyl" Catalog Pages 26-27)

4649-0 MISSILE DEFENSE PAD
Heavy weaponry designed to demonstrate the retaliatory capabilities of the peace-loving Zeroids. When the need arises, any Zeriod moving up the pad ramp will automatically trigger the sequential firing of 3 harmless spring-loaded rockets, and then with a flick of the switch he will back off the ramp. Missiles may also be launched manually and selectively. The 17" long. Zeroid not included (sic, appears two truncated sentences were merged).
Pack: 6/12 doz. Weight:5 1⁄2 lbs.

Variations:

• Ideal 4778-7 Zeroid Action Set
  

John's Notes:

The two accessory boxes seem somewhat difficult to acquire.
