Dragon's 1/6 scale Astronauts

[Maglor]

Has anyone made a decent 1/6 scale Astronaut action figure?

I am a bit of a fan of the Apollo missions.


My father in law is a moon hoax conspiracy theorist and I would love to have a little Neal Armstrong figure to stick it to him next time he comes over!

Haha -that's awesome!

Armstrong would be a sweet figure. I'd love a figure of Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell from Apollo 13.

Dragon, Buck and Buzz. A few years old now, but still really good 1/6 Apollo astronaut figures. You can usually find them on Ebay for around $200 +/-

You may fuel his conspiracies, inspiring him to come up with a new one: That the moon landing was all stop motion with puppets!!!

Tell your father-in-law I was lucky enough to meet Buzz Aldrin and speak to him. These guys are the real deal, no hoax.

Thanks for that! At the original $70 I would buy this in a heartbeat, but $200 plus is a bit much.

To bad your in on the conspiracy!

I bought the Dragon "Buck" about a year or two ago after touring Kennedy Space Center. Really awesome figure and would love to see Dragon re-release them.

The Dragon Buck is awesome. I have one and love it. The detail is great.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

Hot Toys really needs to do a Neil Armstrong figure. The Dragon is good, but just slightly shapeless.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

Still my favorite figures that Dragon has ever done. And if released today they would probably be $200 figures.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

^^^^^

Interesting...

So it is pretty much on par with say - Hot Toys?


If so, I may have to re-assess...

I like how MC says in his review this is overpriced at $70. Times have changed.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

I haven't examined them in a while, but my recollection is that the outfits are about as good as it gets. The body and sculpts are not HT standards at all and are rather generic.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

Just from those photos, I wish I'd bought one for $70. The suits look incredible.

 

[yodasan]

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

In person the suit does look great. I think I got mine about a year
ago for ~150.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

I cannot help but be reminded of the phantom 2001 astronaut figures...

 

[Jediguy]

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

i got both of them and they are really amazing figures

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

I also have both the Dragon Buzz and Buck figures, they're still two of my all time faves. I used Buck in these reviews as background fodder-
