Re: Dragon to issue new 1/18 Space figures
Nice, but looks like the only differences between each figure are the arm poses (no elbow joint), insignia, and accessories. Hope these do well and we see a series of all the various suits from Mercury to Shuttle. Would have liked elbow joints.

I'll bite... First thing I think I will do is repaint the bright light blue boot soles and finger tips. They seem like they should be a bit more muted in color. Otherwise, I think I will rather enjoy these.

Nice A much more cost effective alternative to that $150 1:6 scale Apollo Astronaut Dragon makes and which I've been very tempted to get. When do they make the 1:18 scale LM accessory to go with the figures

Re: Dragon to issue new 1/18 Space figures
Here's a great site showing NASA aircraft below. Feel free to post pics (from that site) of what aircraft you'd like to see in 1:18 scale. The only ground rule is, it must somehow be aircraft related to space and/or NASA, like this NASA F-15 below. Again, Dragon's new Space line maybe a great alternative to bringing-in more fans (space + military) and even new products in our 1:18 hobby = http://www.dfrc.nasa.gov/Gallery/Photo/

I've wanted realistic Apollo figures for years, so I'm looking forward to these.

Re: Dragon to issue new 1/18 Space figures
Those look excellent! Really fantastic. I think I'll be down for the whole set when available. They will be a cheaper alternative to that expensive 1:6 Dragon Apollo astronaut. The limited articulation is not so great, but it does keep the shape/proportion of the figure. I like the removable helmets and realistic headsculpts (though they should have the "snoopy cap" on underneath

Re: Dragon to issue new 1/18 Space figures
I like the look of the Astronauts too!
Is there a 9 iron attached to one of those scoops?
I would like to hit the golf ball "miles and miles"...
Yes, gotta agree w/ Tman on the "Snoopy caps".
How much will the be?
Can you get them individually?
