Post subject:  New Space sets at TJMaxx
Found these sets a couple weeks ago at a local TJMaxx. They look great for dios or to kit out any of the space joes. Price was $9.99.

They look pretty cool.

Very cool. I see weather control satellite potential.

Those DO look very cool. I assume the astronauts are in the 3-3/4" - 4" range? They look to be decently articulated, as well.

Going to have to add TJMaxx to my stops list again. I wonder if Marshalls will also have them?

I could really see myself getting 3-4 of those sets. I'm not interested in the launch set, but I like the look of the rover enough to possibly buy multiples. Do the figures have the 9 point articulation that it looks like from the pictures or more?

Nifty. Lots of good fodder in there too.

I also must have these. The rover and the two satellites are going straight into some Adventure Team space-themed stuff I've been working on, and if the figures are even remotely close to 4", the helmets and some of the other accessories will be very welcome in my home. It's been nice not to go into T.J. Maxx for a while, but I'm willing to brave it again to get these things. Thanks for the heads-up!

I want 1 of each set except for the shuttle one.

I posted one of these last year, though it was packaged differently, it had the rover the astronaut and some of the accessories. Got mine from a local science museum. Yeah, figure is in our scale, bu the rover was the highlight of the set I thought.

The figures are 4", with articulation in the neck, shoulders (just forward and back, no side), biceps, elbows, hips (forward and back, no side), knees and ankles.

Paint app's aren't great, but with some touch ups, could be better than a background piece.

Wow that's a lot of articulation for a "cheap" figure set. I think the only thing you'd really need that these don't have is balljointed shoulders and elbows. In a space suit you really can't move that much but the lateral motion in the arms isn't impossible. I'm getting interested in these now.

And really they don't need a ball jointed elbow, since they have the bicep swivel. Aside from the lack of a shoulder ball, their arm articulation is the same as an ARAH figure.
I may also have to check TJ Maxx for these, and I loathe that place.

If it really is the same as I got last year I didn't find the figure too inspiring. Might work better aesthetically and proportionately with ARAH though
