You know Dragon actually has made a Buzz Alrdin figure, pretty good likeness and excellent space suit. I've been trying to get one on the cheap for awhile now... seem to sell at around $60-$70.

Yep it's an amazing figure. You really should get one.
I have both the first Astronaut and the Buzz Aldrin version; the later of the two is the best. The moon stand on the first one sucks to high heaven, and doesn't come with that cool camera Aldrin Has.
$70 is about what I paid for mine and is well worth the price.
He's currently available at Monkey Depot for $74.95

If you're really adventurous, you can customize The Aldrin figure into a Allan Shepard Apollo 14 figure with a visor and Golf Club kit available from EVA Models:

That's something I always wanted to do.

One word of warning, placing the helmet on the head is a really tight fit, it can mare the head and scratch the paint. What I did was to take a thin long strip of fabric that would cover the face and head but be small enough to allow me to pull it out of the helmet once it's over the head.
You just place the fabric over the head and hold the fabric to the neck on both sides with your fingers, then push the helmet down over top being sure not to force it too much, once it's on, pull the fabric out of the helmet. I've done it a few times with no problem.

I got the Buzz figure and got the first figure's moon base on e-bay. Imagine my surprize what a flimsy piece of crap the base is.
