Space Zombies from Mars

It's not surprising, but it is disappointing, that they still want me to pay for zombie parts I don't care about, which will inflate the price of the figures undoubtedly beyond what I want to pay. Maybe more than what I'm willing to pay.

Also, I don't love the idea of the arms being swappable at the bicep. Curious to see how they manage that without making it either not really 'in situ' swappable but more something you need to go do with hot water, OR making it kind of a weak, shitty joint that comes apart too easily.

Thing is, and you're also an artist so I'll let you push back, I don't think the proportions are there. It's close. But it might still bug me.

So, with the caveat that these aren't slavishly accurate spacesuits, and many liberties are taken, it works for me as real EMUs are pretty silhouette-obliterating. The suit is itself is internally pressurized, a person shaped balloon, basically, so you'd never really have something that distinct. This is why elbow and knee articulation is a real pain for spacesuits, because it's literally like folding an inflated balloon in half.

I think the closest thing to these figures is probably the For All Mankind suits, which are more form-fitting, but not by much:

I can mentally fudge it. I think if they were a bit "pudgier" as suits it would sell it better, but then you're going to start cutting into range of motion and you have a different problem.

So yeah, it depends on where your tastes lie. I think I'm more like Damien is for armor on this one. Since I know the real thing would basically make the sexes indistinguishable at distance, I'm willing to roll with the design choices they've made here. I think for more close to silhouette suits you start trending towards stuff like the Boss Fight Roxy London, even though that's very 50s scifi coded.
