“Through him, America reached the stars.”

From the November, 1997 issue of Lee’s Action Figure News and Toy Review (Amazon.com search*) comes this full page ad for Hasbro’s 12-inch scale astronaut action figure in celebration of the first space shuttle launch. Despite how cool I find these 12-inch scale G.I. Joe action figures I actually don’t have very many of them; that’s probably a good thing because getting into something like the Adventure Team of the seventies could get really pricey.
