...adds yet another set to the want list. Give me a classic space figure, please.

Nice. I hope this leads to other upscaled figs.

Slight improvement on 3723 which I must find.... you'd think it would hard to loose.... Will be getting this one.

Superb! Was expecting it to say 'only from Billund'.
Same size as Harry Potter, just a pity that the wooden minifig was a bit smaller. A definite buy.

I'm reminded of an old comedy sketch of a man talking while eating his own brains with a spoon!
'Not the 9 o' Clock News' or 'Monty Pyhon' maybe?

The hat looks really rough around the back and resembles the wrong mold from what the actual minifig wears. Seems disjointed in that sense, but the shaping is otherwise nice.

Yes please.

Just a must-have, that's all. TLG is firing on all cylinders.

Fabulous!

The guy in the hat is such a goofy idea. I love it.

And the price seems decent.

Well, now my 'wanted list' (once again) includes over 100 sets, due to all those nice reveals…

Is this a June 1st release globally or just everywhere but North America?

Wow the fact the minifig is the pilot , just wonderful!

Would echo those asking for a Classic Spaceman, yes please!

I need this - looks superb, good price and universal approval from everyone here! It just shows what can be done with 'proper' bricks and no licensing costs to pass on...
Oh, and we need a space version too!

That is just a delight - the price is surprisingly reasonable and the minifigure 'driving' is the icing on the cake.

So that's canon now? Minifigs are actually androids with even smaller nano-figs controlling them? All these decades and I never knew! And yes, absolutely, waiting for CS man. The more colors, the better!

@C_O_Patra:
Well, with the cockpit open, it really is just a slab with a dome. Anyways, using bricks with studs on the sides, or brackets, it might be possible to thicken the top of the brim in the center, and the bottom at the sides, to create an illusion of curvature. Then again, the original minifig baseball cap really was just a slab with a lopsided dome. As for the levers, I can’t be sure without testing it, but _if_ the minifig hand will fit within that blue part (which I would not want to bet on), and if the angle of the arm sockets is favorable, it might be possible to use the wrist rotation, the hip movement, and the control handle rotation to actually get the hands and handles lined up.

@crazylegoman:
It also probably uses a ton of common shapes in common colors. Some of them may be included in bulk. There’s only two printed elements I can spot, one of which is a basic smiley minifig head.

Big boy.

That's very very cool. The minifigure under the hat is a brilliant addition.

There's too much blue behind the dome of the hat, which really spoils the shape and makes it look more like a bowler from some angles. I feel like they could have reduced that behind-the dome space somehow, or else the dome was the wrong size for the head.

Harry & Hermoine could use a new friend, so on the wanted list it goes...

Might retool the face into a robot, really emphasize this is a mech. Laser sword too while I'm at it.

Here's the link for my upscaled Ant-Man minifig I was talking about a while ago

I'd say the helmet turned out!

This will go great with the Red beard they released for everyone to purchase. oh wait.

One of the highlights of summer reveal day. Will definitely buy!

It's cool, but wake me when there's a Blacktron variant.

A minifigure can't hold the bars within that part. There's just enough space for a clip.

Yes the original baseball cap was a slab with a dome, but it still looked like a hat. This just looks a bit ugly, but doesn't ruin the set.

So now for the most important question: Is the head the same size as the helmet collection helmets? Imagine the possibilities then - just swap it out for Darth Vader or Commander Cody, etc…

@C_O_Patra:
Eh, it was a thought anyways.

@DavoDestroyer:
The head looks like it’s around eight studs wide, while the helmets are more like 12 studs wide. One stud walls on the helmets feels more accurate, so these would probably be a bit oversized. Then again, so do minifig helmets…

Love this

That opening helmet image gives me certain Terry Gilliam animation / Monty Python vibes.

Love it!
Now do Red & White Spacemen!

Do we think the face is a sticker or printed?

Even with the weird hat (with a brim in the back?) - I still like it.
I too hope this leads to other up-scale minifgures. Would love a Spaceman . . . and a Darth Vader & Luke up-scaled set (similar to the Harry & Hermione set) would be awesome!

I’m sure someone will try it. Unfortunately I don’t have any of the helmet collection so that person won’t be me….at this stage.

$50 is a very decent price! …Kids will love making him… and then cover him with stickers.

Going back to the Chima Legend Beasts, and maybe even before that, it was noted that they tend to limit stickers to stuff like fur/feather/scale patterns, claws, and other less critical details, while the faces tend to be prints. In terms of sets with a younger age range, this enables kids to build the model with little to no assistance, on their own time, and then an older person might be able to help apply the stickers at a later time. Having the face is more important than other details.

76393 has printed faces for both characters, and a printed tie-and-collar. 40504 has a sticker for the map tile and the pirate hat, but the face is once again printed. Zooming in, I can’t make out anything that looks like a sticker, so it looks like this has a printed classic smiley head for the minifig, and a matching printed face for the large version. If they have any plans to make more of these, doing a printed face for this one now makes sense, since they’d just keep using the same printed face for any minifig released prior to the debut of Pirates.

@quincy:
Well, if you’ve got any copies of 5005738, you’re all set!

"Lego, please note that I will pay an utterly irresponsible amount of money for a Red Spaceman and/or Majisto in this style. I'm livid that Captain Redbeard isn't easily available at retail. "

I moced one fir my own: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-140967/dirk81/big-classic-spaceman-red-brick-build/details

With this set it will be much easier to moc one. Because the face will be the key element to so much classic ones.

@Ridgeheart:
Enough of it looks so identical that I have to assume the basic structure was based on a previous official set. However, the face, helmet, airtanks, and logo are probably all original, and the hands are a significant improvement over what his set gets. Anyone who buys this set should absolutely slip a few cheese wedges into the palms of those hands.
