This was a terrific looking 20 inch diameter round puzzle made up of 125 fully interlocking jigsaw pieces picturing art illustrations of Major Matt Mason, Sgt. Storm and another white suited astronaut. They are wielding roto-jet guns and about to fire the massive Firebolt Space Cannon at an unknown enemy. Two strange looking humanoid figures with green spacesuits are in the sky above the astronauts. All on a really detailed moonscape with star studded space and the Earth in the background. What a great piece to frame and display on the wall.
