Does anybody do a NASA astronaut?
« on: 10 August 2012, 03:17:57 PM »
Hi, I wanted to ask if anyone knows a good NASA astronaut figure, 25-28mm.
I've searched but I couldn't find one. I know reaper does one, but I want one wearing the helmet. I need one looking a bit like this (so just a common NASA spacesuit):

Does anyone have a suggestion?
Cheers!

Mine any good?

It's a nice miniature, but I think the helmet doesn't really look like a NASA helmet. The suit itself looks quite like a NASA suit, though.

I think you'll find bigger or smaller.  Airfix made plastic sets of Astronauts complete with a Lunar Lander in 1/72nd and in 1/32nd.  Maybe check Dollar Stores for cheap knockoffs of those, they are usually in different scales.

Thanks for your suggestions, but I'm going to use a Horrorclix Evil Cosmonaut figure. But thanks!

Revell made one in 1/48, too.

It looks like this:

I think it looks pretty accurate (when repainted, of course)!

Reaper also has a "not Val Kilmer" type in their Chronoscape line.
