This was probably the greatest action figure. I had two of them. The first one did a bionic leap from a tree and ended up breaking off a foot. The foot, complete with shoe and sock, ended up as a gag gift at my elementary school Xmas party. ("Find the rest of him and rebuild him. We know you can do it. we know you have the technology.") The second ended up dipped in epoxy, set on fire, and running through my back yard at 60mph. ("Ahhhh! Ahhhh!" sound of car arriving in driveway "Uh oh. Dad's home!" stomp stomp, throw dirt, toss half-melted doll behind doghouse) I loved how you could roll up the "skin" on his arm and leg and remove the bionic modules. Ahhhh, memories... Thanks!
