Gorgeous! Level of detail to the surfaces is unreal compared to most plastic spacemen. Little sculptures is what they are, and they always disturbed me as a kid: Had to do with the exaggerated nature of the movements, a feature which was not possible once genuine pressurized "space suits" came into practice. These guys are wearing Project Mercury era flight suits meant to protect the astronaut from fire rather than the vacuum of space. Once the Project Gemini guys started space walking the pressurized suits they wore which minimized movement seeped into the pop culture, and these things became weird freaky distended figurative trips which messed with my head.
