In
the episode 'Nightmare' a group of astronauts have been captured
and made prisoners of war on the planet of Ebon. The bat-winged,
gargoyle-like alien Ebonites interrogate the prisoners using their
sense manipulating control wands. The prisoners are subjected
to torture, drugs and vivid hallicinations in order to 'break
them' into revealing secret information.
When
the prisoners are reassembled and allowed basic necessities the
group believes that someone has been broken and turned traitor.
They all suspect Major Jong and are about to execute him when
young Pvt. Dix confesses during a mental breakdown that he revealed
secrets to a hallucination of his mother.
It
is then that the prisoners discover their 'capture' was a deliberate
plan by the military of Earth in order to test their resolve under
foreign interrogation. The group has been pushed mentally to the
limit and they do not believe the truth when it is revealed. This
results in a final scuffle in which the Chief of Staff is killed
accidentally.

This
12" figure features the likeness of the Chief Ebonite Interrogator.
He comes complete with his Ebonite torture wand, a handheld control
box, batwing costume, neck collar and display base.
