Planet Heroes was a line of toys from Fisher-Price depicting various heroic characters each identified with a specific planet.
These characters represented their planets in design and features, such as Mercury and Pluto are very small, while Jupiter is a larger toy. The toys representing the planets have numbers on them corresponding with the number of planets from the Sun they are (Mercury is 1, Venus is 2, Earth is 3, etc). A few of the Planet Heroes toys were released in a basic model that comes with a smaller accessory. These include the Earth Ace with Skateboard instead of Go Kart and the Mars Digger with Drill and shield instead of Rumble Rover.
