Space Travel, with all its excitement and thrills, fired the imaginations of GI Joe fans in the early 1960's as they dreamed of one day climbing inside a Mercury spacecraft and rocketing in orbit.

Very realistic - but you need to be careful with it also
By J. Zorn
My 7 year old 2nd grade son is crazy about all things space and really wanted an astronaut action figure. He loves this and plays with it all the time. The only thing is we have to remind him to be extra careful with it as it is a collectible and not easily replaced if something breaks.
