I've got those three. They're cool, but they have about the same amount of articulation as Deep Six, as far as that goes.

I'm really quite impressed with the two that I was given today. Of course, now it just makes me want to find the other two.

I hate quests...

Well, I found the yellow-trimmed one from that newest group on eBay for an agreeable price (especially since the other two were freebies), but nobody seems to have the green-trimmed one. Probably shortpacked... :-/

I also found out how specific you have to be with searched. "Lanard Star Force" scored me the yellow one. I thought perhaps expanding to "Star Force" might help, but at that point, "Star Wars Power of the Force" kicks in, and the matching listings went from 19 to over 9,000. 8-O

Trying "Star Force Green" didn't help too much, given the number of green-carded Star Wars figures... :roll:

Well, thanks to an eBay auction, I now have the yellow-trimmed astronaut. He's cool. Has this sort of "Crystal Ball" thing going with his hair in that it's mostly black except for these rather implausibly jagged grey temples.

Now I just need the green-trimmed astronaut.

Noticed something about these guys, too. Not only do their suits glow in the dark, so do their faces. This might lead to some concern as to how long they've been sealed in these suits...!

Congrats :)

I knew they were glow in the dark but not the heads.

Space is harsh lol.

Buy some extras and give the hips DCUC articulation.

It took direct sunlight to reveal THAT little feature.

Just hope I can find the green-trimmed one at some point.

The glow in the dark feature is why I used them for some of my Oktober Guard WIPs. They seem to give them a different look, which was perfect for the Russians.

No, it's just the skin tone didn't look like the usual heads. It seemed to give them a Russian look.

Okaaayyy, I finally got the green-trimmed fourth astronaut in this line. Found him in a VERY reasonably priced eBay auction that also included two other astronauts (henceforth known as "spare parts"), several vehicles, including a wheeled item, a treaded item that looks like it took a few cues from the Battle Bear Skimobile, and some sort of two-passenger lander that looks faintly like something Major Matt Mason might've come up with but changed his mind about.

There was even a little monkey in a spacesuit. Impressively, the monkey has a certain level of articulation, including his head and arms, which move forward, backward, and outward!

And pretty much every bit of it glows in he dark.

So, I've finally got all four STAR FORCE figures, some vehicles and equipment for them, and a monkey.

Just what I always wanted -- a glow in the dark space monkey...

All this from two figures given to me anonymously, and I STILL don't know who gave them to me. But I guess I can live with the mystery...
