Star Ace Toys release
1/6 scale Neil Armstrong

In celebration of the 55th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, Star Ace introduces the one-sixth scale Neil Armstrong figure in authentic Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle A7L spacesuit.

This figure is a fitting tribute to one of the most significant moments in human history. As Neil Armstrong famously declared, "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," this meticulously crafted figure embodies the spirit of exploration and discovery that defined the Apollo era.

Prepare to embark on a historic journey to the moon with the highly detailed and meticulously crafted Star Ace 1/6 Scale Neil Armstrong Figure. With an authentic portrait likeness of Neil Armstrong, this stunning collectible piece immortalizes the iconic astronaut in his authentic Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle A7L space suit, complete with intricate details that pay homage to the monumental Apollo 11 mission.

Equipped with a Portable Life Support System and Oxygen Purge System (PLSS/OPS) backpack, this figure authentically replicates the gear worn by Neil Armstrong during his historic moonwalk. The Lunar Extravehicular Visor Assembly (LEVA) features an adjustable sunshield and sun visor, while the Snoopy Cap and Extravehicular (EV) Gloves add to the realism of this exceptional collectible.

In addition to the detailed space suit, the Neil Armstrong figure comes complete with a rock hammer and soil sampling device, allowing you to recreate the moments of scientific exploration on the lunar surface. The figure includes a standard base, perfect for display in any collection or diorama.

Looks impressive, the helmet appears to be a bit too large though, with the backpack a bit too small...

The images are of a prototype figure, so there may still be changes between what is shown and the final product.

This is, I believe, the first licensed model of Neil Armstrong.

I am curious to see how this one ultimately compares with the 1/6 figures that came out a few years ago from Did.co.

The portrait of Neil looks to be better on this figure, but not as sure about the suit.

And maybe the final release will have a PLSS antenna. Not sure why so many model companies do not include it.
