Nice jacket.

Peak set, peak torso print.

He probably wishes he had a jacket like that, though. I know I do, even though getting a jacket on is a pain since my stroke.

When that jacket debuted in 2003 the fan community went wild. Finally we had a duty jacket for our Space crew to wear.
Is this guy an astronaut? Or pretending to be one to impress the ladies?
Where is his Corvette Stingray?

And 60467, from last summer
Hands up: how many wish that 'jacket' came in other colors...And hand up: how many wish TLG would make/commission this 'jacket' be made "real" (you know, instead of things like Crocs...:))
Also: I have used this jacket-pattern in LDD for making Spacefolks, and they look really good with the design (and in 'Advanced', you CAN change that red to other colors :))
This torso is one of a few I use for minifigs of myself. Whenever I come across one in a bulk buy, you know that's getting kept.
I wish Lego would sell patches like this. A battle jacket would look great with a space logo!
Back in the day, I didn't even realize at first that they snuck 6022415 into various City sets (and 4227785, the light nougat hands variant included in 4853). It took Dan Jassim's unveiling of his Starship Explorer before I was fully aware that LEGO had stealthily dropped the CS logo back into the mix. Some of you whippersnappers on here might not realize it, but seeing CS in the wild [of the primary marketplace] in any form was a rarity back in the early 2000s.

I don't have any sets with this toso, but I used the one from 4853 for the pilot of a MOC spacecraft I made once. (I think I might have swapped the hands out for yellow or black ones, but the MOC's been in storage for years, so I can't remember for sure, and can't check.) But my my sigfig uses a torso with a different Space logo: https://brickset.com/parts/6385283/mini-upper-part-no-5933

Yes, but...the first set it came out in was 4513, which wasn't the most efficient way to get _one_ torso. It wasn't until 7567 hit that they became easy to obtain in quantity.

Right you are, Dave!
