On the clear plastic bubble is a gold paper label giving the details of this offer with the expiry date 1/31/96 (January 1996), not valid in UK. The buble is clear plastic and is lined.
2. lining for the bubble, clear moulded plastic shaped to house the figure and its weapon.
3. figure, moulded plastic in metallic red and white; all parts jointed by fairly large bolts and screws. It is jointed at the shoulders, elbows, hips and knees, with swivel joints at the shoulders. The hands are curled inward and each has a small knob to hold the weapon. There is a holster attached to the left side. There are two heads moulded together on a spindle, one a man's with black head and painted features; the other a helmet to match the figure. The heads are be interchanged with the hidden one being in the chest; both front and back open up to release and receive each head.. To change the heads from the man'sto the helmet, press down on the `power morpher belt buckle' which opens the front and back chest and the helmeted head springs out. To change back to the man's head, rotate the helmet back and down until the other is in place and the chest panels close. This is termed on the box Morph or Morphing and the figure has `real morphing action'. Term is derived from metamorphisis. The body has the copyright marks and on the soles of the feet - C4-1 L, C4-2 R.
4. weapon, pistol shape of moulded white plastic; in the butt is a small hole which fits the knobs in the hands.
