MAC Men
"The Mobile Action Command Rescue Team"
By Euphrates


I get asked about these fellows quite a bit and aside from http://www.strafe.com/mac/ there 
is very little information about them on the web.  They were made by Matchbox from 1974 to
1978 and were similar in articulation to Star Wars and GI Joe figures.


MAC Men were essentially specialty rescue teams.  Each set came carded or boxed with a figure 
known as the MAC Commander, a few pieces of equipment and the appropriate rescue vehicle.  


The most popular playset is the MAC Mountain, sort of a James Bond hideout with three levels
and multiple exits for the wheeled and winged vehicles.  All of the figures and accessories
are hard to come by but a complete MAC Mountain is the hardest.
