Indeed, and thanks for catching this. However, should it be first reissue
or second reissue and how would one know? The differences between them aren't
immediately obvious to me.

Torsos described as "first reissue" have the space logo centered on the torso.
Those described as "second reissue" have the more familiar design with the logo
at the top of the torso.

I believe that only the black and white figures were released with the centred
torso, so for blue, yellow and red the title is a bit confusing as there is a
second but no first. However I think it is better to name them this way because
the first version could be out there and added later. Perhaps remove the first
reissue / second reissue text and simply state "reissue" and describe the placement
of the logo?

The name/version of the torso is not necessarily reflected in the minifig ID
- those were simply assigned in the order they were added to the catalog.
sp006new is white spaceman with first reissue torso
sp006new2 is white spaceman with second reissue torso
but
sp004new is blue spaceman with second reissue torso
sp004new2 is blue spaceman also with the second torso but a different head.

I have some other cleanup of these figures too and will try to get pictures -
if I can get the pieces. That is proving to be difficult as most sellers have
them listed incorrectly.
