Fairly standard Mission Mars spaceman, he’s got printing front and back but sadly no air tank! How does he breath?

Parts 6/10 (Lots of white and not much orange, but where’s the air tank!)

As you said, he has printing on the back, if you look closley you wil lsee a tank printed on his back with "Oxygen" written on it.

Opps well that’ll teach me to do reviews without my glasses! Thanks for pointing that out Stauder.

I wasn't all that impressed with what you get in this set for the price.

But you have an interesting point; that the robot can be considered a reference to the Classic Space bots.

Makes me think I ought to try modding the robot later...

Nice review and quite funny

Now I'll never turn my back on a robot again.

Poor set.

I find this set bad, even for an impulse,.

The robot is poorly designed and without any use.

The space minifig is ok.

I'd rather get another impulse set than this.

Except the other Life On Mars Mars Mission impulse sets.

Something I forgot to mention is that great review

Makes me think I ought to try modding the robot later...

Mod the robot? Why? You should see the interior!

Actually I kinda like the Crystal Hawk impulse. The default model isn't that great but you get a few nice wing plates to work with (after rearranging it looks pretty good).

I guess this one though, is good for some nice parts, tho its pretty limited in what you can rebuild it into, and it seems less value because the astronaut has no vehicle...

Best impulse set has to be the Troll Warrior... feels very 'complete', and Space Orcs are always nice to have...
