Classic Space - Red with Air Tanks

The original gold color of the planet / moon portion of this pattern had a tendency to easily rub off. For that reason many used minifigures will have a pattern in which the orb appears white or has even entirely worn away.

Production of this minifigure ended in 1988, but some of the parts comprising it have been in production since that time in modern variations. These should be listed under the appropriate catalog entry, but some sellers may fail to do so. A figure composed of parts completely authentic to the period would have a solid stud head as well as a torso with small (or no) prongs for attachment to the legs. Buyers to whom such details are important should verify with the seller before purchase. Sellers may wish to indicate if the minifigures they are listing are composed of parts authentic to the period rather than modern replacement parts.
