This very cool item is one of the rarest of the paper products to find in any condition, much
less unpunched. Besides a very cool photo cover of Matt on a Reconojet,
the interior featured accurate paintings of some of the vehicles in the
MMM line, as well as figures wearing various suits or on platforms.
The centerfold is a moonscape with the space station, mountains and the
earth in the background. Flying vehicles could be "tabbed-in" to the
slots cut on the background to simulate flight. The various other
figures/vehicles/accessories have paper "T"-stands or fold-backs to help
them stand.
