	The original one was "Major Matt Mason".  There were several
different figures, all made out of rubber, with wire joints covered with
an accordian-like piece of plastic.  They had a bunch of vehicles, I
espically remember the Moon-Walker (had 4 legs on each side, kinda like
twin windmills........)
