That kitchen is a nice touch, more spaceships should consider that. Though I would worry that someone's boiling soup could easily mutilate the captain, should the ship rock during a battle.

I love these! Having little dudes to pilot all the fun vehicles is what made Headmasters some of the best Transformers, and has me eyeing those big nice new Daiclone sets that have come out in recent years! These MANTA FORCE toys aren't familiar to me, but they still make the 5yr-old-from-1986-me want to play with them.

You know what these figures need? Magnets on their feet and vehicles/play sets that fold into a uniform size so they can all be carried by the main ships. I mean, if there was a toyline like that, I'm sure you'd cover it in detail at some point, right??

Great Reviews on the Manta Force lines!! Great to see someone new reviewing such an iconic toy line. I’ve been a collector off just manta force the past few years and literally have everything they made bar ammunition pack and the Red Sneak!! Bluebird did release the last hurrah the “Astroshark” still yet to find a complete one, and also take a look and see if you can find Stinkhorn’s “Stinkjet” another cool design 👍🏼❤️

I ended up buying five when I got in to collecting this line. Only one had an unbroken canopy. Another I stripped of its parts and binned the rest because of the poor condition it was in, I also learned that glue was used in attaching the crews seats in the main hanger bay. Despite the large army of the vehicles I had built up, it was more challenging trying to gather a complete set of the alternate coloured crafts they sold in individual packs. But I now have one Manta ship filled with these alternate coloured variants. You ever read the comic book?
