Countdown was the first Joe astronaut that was released on a single card. Oddly, this was a case when Cobra got a carded specialty first. But, Countdown was worth the wait and remains one of the top astronaut sculpts in the line. He's sleek, properly colored and includes amazing gear. He got a few repaints, some of which are equally as nice as this figure. Here's the best of him from around the web.
