Moon McDare was a A. C. Gilbert Company toy line featuring a fictional male astronaut, released in response to the then current interest in outer space and the US/Soviet Space Race. Moon McDare stood approximately 12" (30.4 cm) high and was provided with a variety of space gear, including helmet, backpack and hand tools.
The toyline first appeared in the US in 1965 and continued through the late 1960s. Moon McDare's body was molded in "flesh" colored plastic with ball/socket joints. His accessories were molded in blue, yellow or silver plastic and white space suits. The figure could be found boxed with a "dark blue" jumpsuit and black boots. The accessories were sold separately as shallow bagged "packs" or deluxe sets surrounded by cardboard (similar to a blister pack) - one set featured the "Space Mutt" - Moon McDare's traveling companion.

“in the pleasure of that communion
I lose track,
the moon I watch goes down, the
tide swings you away before
I know I’m
alone again long since,”
