I eventually bought one in that short lived Toy magazine that was an inch thick and made of newspaper paper.
I got this for Christmas like 3 years after I'd asked for it, which meant my dad found it on clearance somewhere. I thought that was weird, but it still became my favourite toy I ever had as a kid. I don't think I ever actually built Argus out of it, but the cockpit part often saw service as Cobra Commander's whip, and the astronaut pilot it came with was my favorite figure of all time.
