Eagle Eye Land Commander

While flocking was first used by British licensee Palitoy, the Eagle Eye Land Commander (7276) features an innovation that later went across the pond to Action Man, moving eyes.  A small lever on the back of the figure's head allow the eyes to move left or right in a slightly creepy unfocused stare.  Very rarely the figure can be found with red hair and beard, though most are flocked in standard brown.  Hasbro also released an Eagle Eye Man of Action.
