Dragon's 1/6 scale Astronauts

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

Should be around for a few more weeks, launch window may be a few months.

But, don't snooze if you really want one. Last version is pretty hard to find.

Big N O to the mug, Houston. :/

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

I thought it was strange that it was in the picture.

Since I don't have anything to worry about until Superman shows up, I'm on it. Need to find a good 1:6 flag too.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

Where are you seeing the mug? Now that you mention it, I want one.

Awesome! What do you think of it?

Put it this way. He's got "The Right Stuff".

Love that video.


Bart Sibrel disgusts me.

Malgor, I have the older one -- Buck, whatever it was called. The box-shaped chest piece has come loose and I can't figure out how it attaches, any chance you could post a description or even a photo? thanks much.

I don't know if the above pics will help, but I haven't tried assembling the suit yet. And no instructions, so it should be interesting...

Yeah, I never saw a mug anywhere.

Oh, the "Flying Mule" mug?


Nope. But I have enough coffee mugs already.

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

ah, ok. I was thinking you were talkin about a 1/6 NASA emblem mug...

Nice pics Maglor! This guy can't get here soon enough!

Looks like that's their "apple" ala SSC for size reference.

Great pics, Maglor. Thanks! I just placed my order.

This would be a cool figure to pose with Big Chief's 11th Doctor Who figure.

It works. And I'm kinda relieved. Who the hell needs another coffee mug? (Unless it's orange and says Spooktacular on it.)

Great pics, Maglor. Thanks! I just placed my order.

Now I just hope I can figure out how to get all his gear on. All these hoses are confusing!

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

Good news, bad news:

Good news. I got the little cap on, and it looks/fits great.

Bad news. Although the hoses were pretty straight-forward, I haven't got a clue how to attach the backpack to his back. There are no fasteners on his back at all that I can see.

Is my figure missing something?

Re: 1/6 scale Astronaut?

Thanks for the tip about "The Flying Mule." My order arrived quickly (9 days).

Here is a simple "just out of the box" photo.

Had him as a kid. He used to fight Aliens and Predators and ____ until he broke.

Cool ass toy.

False alarm guys.

I was a little thrown by this post:

Malgor, I have the older one -- Buck, whatever it was called. The box-shaped chest piece has come loose and I can't figure out how it attaches, any chance you could post a description or even a photo? thanks much.

The old figures must be different, because this makes it sound like the box on the front can come off while leaving the backpack on.


On the new figure it's the box in front that holds the backpack on.

The box in front has what I thought at first were hoses. But they are in fact, straps. They have little hooks on the end. You criss cross these straps over his chest and they attach to little loops on the front of the backpack, which holds it snugly in place.


Here's a quick update shot:

I still need to get the boots on (which will require heating them up). Also, I don't have the inner helmet on in this pic. I can't figure out how to get it to stay in place. My next "chicken little" post will be about that.
