1993 Countdown: Combat Astronaut (Star Brigade) v2

Includes: pressure regulated space helmet with sun-ray face shield, missile launching fazer gun, missile (2), Star Brigade battle knife, rifle, submachine gun, figure stand

1993 continued the tradition of oversized, spring-loaded weapons. These powerful weapons shoot over 10 feet.

1993 introduced the weapons tree, a mostly generic selection of previously released weapons, still on the plastic sprues.

Countdown's yellow weapons tree included a large rifle, a submachine gun, a knife, two missiles and a figure stand.

The 1993 Star Brigade Fighters Assortment (Astro Viper v2, Countdown v2, Ozone v2 and v3, Payload v3, Roadblock v6, and T.A.R.G.A.T. v2) all shared the same card art illustrating the Payload prototype facing off against Astro Viper, and the file cards featured product photography. This was a first for the A Real American Hero (ARAH) 1982-1994 run. These file card photos most likely show hand painted prototypes, known as paint masters.
