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.

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

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 =

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

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

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?

what ever happened to these figures? Are they still coming or has the line been dropped?
