Before we dive too deep into the figures, let's take a look at the accessories that came with them. There were:
-6 different 'Astro Pacs' which had straps on them and were meant to fit over the shoulders
-6 different 'Scientific Weapons'
According to the book 'BLAST OFF! Rockets, Robots, Ray Guns, and Rarities from The Golden Age of Space Toys' by S. Mark Young, Steve Duin, and Mike Richardson...
...each individual Astro Pac and weapon had its own name as shown in the photos below:
'Space Dust' hmmmm don't let your Astro boss catch you sniffin' it! 😄
The Astro Pacs, while looking nice, weren't well designed in that they cannot be worn over the head and slung at the side, the straps are too short. It for this reason you will see many of them with broken straps. The weapons all have tabs on them which fit into the slots in the figure's hands. As the series rolls on, we'll see each figure decked out in gear. Be Blessed and Relish Life! Ed
