I've got this one, along with the whole series. Easily one of my favourite minifigure series.
This whole series was great and this is one of the best

I also have the whole series, but this is probably my least favorite. Not because it's a bad figure in any way, it's just that the whole series was so good. Easily my favorite non-licensed series, and one of only three series I've ordered complete on eBay, the other two being D&D and Across the Spider-Verse.
Three little men in a flying saucer flew around the world one day!
I was so incredibly disappointed to find that you can't fit a trophy fig inside the UFO.

As in it doesn't stick? Or it is actually too tall?

Like one plate too tall to get the glass dome to insert into the saucer section.
I also have this one, but it’s probably my least favorite of the series by a pretty fair margin. He’s just really quite boring, and the general lack of comparability of the saucer piece is severely disappointing. Still an awesome series, though.
I love the back print of this minifig, which features a small planet Earth! ??
I mostly collect alien figures with different molds. This guy looks like he is wearing a costume, so I passed on it. My ultimate goal is to create a cantine like scene for my Classic Space port.
They should have gotten him a clear minifig head with an printed alien on it and it would have looked so much better. Would have been fun if that print was an alien like the ones that control the earthling robot from this series.
I do love the legs and torso btw.
Definitely feels like this costume is smarter than a lot of the others, which tend to just be “minifig in a big hat”
If it wasn't for the 'Earth' printed on his back, the torso and legs would be great for Star Boy from the DC Legion of Superheroes...and the head would be a good 'base' for a Brainiac 5...:)
I got the Spacewalking Astronaut, the M-Tron guy and two of the Nurse with the Classic Space Baby (of course) from this series. The rest were not so interesting for me, including this guy, who just looks plain boring for my taste in CMFs.
Still find this a bit creepy, like a head being served on a saucer, or the yellow head turning green from asphyxiation. Should come with a don't try this at home warning.
I have whole collection. Some doubles and some even triples. These are part of my CUSTOM lore...

As I said, he's my least favorite of the series, but I do love that particular detail.

But if they'd done that, then he wouldn't be a person in a costume, and Lego is legally obligated to include ine of those in every non-licensed CMF series, don'cha know.

No, it would look like that if the head was blue or purple. This way, it looks like he's going to throw up in his helmet.
So this is the LEGO version of the 1950s hokey (even for the fifties) sci-fi film 'Plan 9 from Outer Space', huh? If so, where's zombie Bella Lugosi?
I like this one. The body with the display base makes the figure look celestial. Just needs a cool black head.

Lol, that’s true! Ok, forget my silly idea!
I like the torso and leg print, but most of all: the dish! It's such a beautiful wheel cap.

I got three tourists (They're like the one in Terry Pratchett!), a nurse, the Ice Planet(I wish I'd gotten more), two M-trons, a cook(I also wish for more of them. They're amazing!), Orion, this space Guy and that Dave minifigure
Which ones did I collect from this series? Yes. Very, very yes.

He _is_ just wearing a costume. That’s what makes him an Enthusiast instead of a Pilot.
Another stubborn one, eh?
