A great toy, but not very durable, unfortunately. The paint rubbed off within hours and the wire snapped within days, but the playtime possibilities seemed endless.Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15624230.post-35524734650504892892014-03-14T05:23:22.786-04:002014-03-14T05:23:22.786-04:00This is THE toy.

I played with this on the hillside behind my house for hours until and after the wires in Matt's arms and legs had long snapped.

I had three or four of the astronauts, Captain Laser, Scorpio, and a few of the vehicles. I actually still have Major Matt and Sgt. Storm, albeit in somewhat worn condition.Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547751537787941998noreply@blogger.com
