The latest addition of the up-scaled minifigures line is the Up-Scaled Blue Astronaut Minifigure (40921). Releasing in March, the set has 793 pieces and retails for $59.99.
As you can see, the figure resembles the blue astronaut very nicely. The first part of the build is the torso which is similar to the previous scaled-up minifigures. In the front of the torso, we have a new printed panel for the Classic Space logo.
The back of the torso has the air tanks attached using some pins. This is a very nice addition from LEGO to the get complete look of the minifigure. The neckstrap, however, is not connected to the air tanks but to the torso.
The arms can rotate and the wrists are able to rotate as well.
The legs themselves have gotten a slight update as the connections now use click hinges for the joints. This allows the figure to have more stability while standing compared to before when they used Technic pins.
Finally we have the head which is built along with the helmet. They are one single build and cannot be separated. Inside the head, there are some display panels and a seat for a robot.
As for the robot, it looks like some of the robots you see in the Classic Space sets from the 80s.
Results
If you’ve been collecting these LEGO up-scaled minifigures, the Up-Scaled Blue Astronaut Minifigure (40921) is not too different from the other ones. I do like the leg upgrades since they give more stability. Although the previous characters didn’t have any accessories, I do feel that the astronaut should have something, like a wrench or a radio.
