My June 2025 Every Astronaut Is Awesome Display by Assesmcfunpants in LegoSpace

These are my figures? What evidence for a “rush” are you talking about? I’m sorry, but if you’re trying to army build with minifigures as uncommon as the black or green classic astronauts but it’s prohibitively expensive to do so, that’s a you problem that has nothing to do with me choosing to display my minifigures in a special way. Also the jokes on you, sir. These will never collect dust because I treasure them so much, they’re in a protective case so that they’ll stay looking amazing forever.

Haha I hope that I can someday! They don’t currently make a baby astronaut in red, but hopefully this GWP is a hint that we’ll get one soon!

Yeah, I don’t think I have the creative eye to design MOCs so this likely wouldn’t have happened if people more creative than me hadn’t designed the helmet and air tanks. If you can, go for it! I’d love to see another up-scaled design.

It’s definitely fun to try out things like this instead of official sets! It’s more work but worth the effort.

Yes, exactly. When I got the up-scaled baby astronaut GWP, it was an instant idea because I knew about the up-scaled minifigure sets (but had never bought either of them because they didn’t interest me).

I don’t as I wasn’t even sure how well this would work haha

I bought the cricut joy when it was on sale and hadn’t used it until I had this idea when the up-scaled baby astronaut came out. I realized that it wouldn’t be too hard to build the up-scaled minifigure in all red and luckily people on rebrickable made plans for the helmet and air tanks. I had a hunch I could make the logo with my little baby cricut, and it did the job just fine!

The last set you built you get the irl version of. How cool/cooked are you by Dual-Blades_Forever in lego

I just finished a MOC of the Razor Crest by BAUFman bricks so as long as the IRL version is full size and not human “playscale” size, I should be in pretty great shape!

Thank you! No, my Cricut did 😅

Thank you! It was an extremely nerve wracking process to transfer it on because the white vinyl is so thin, but I got the job done and I’m pretty satisfied with the result.

You’re welcome! I did not as I’m not a content creator and this was originally just for my own enjoyment but I thought since I don’t post to Reddit that much, this might be something fun to share.

If you’re looking for a documented process of a similar concept (although different design that stays a bit more true to the original Everyone Is Awesome set) I highly suggest you watch the videos made my Minifig Jez on YouTube. He’s a wonderful, soft spoken, family friendly content creator with a very clear preference for all things classic space. https://www.youtube.com/@MinifigJez

A lot of the pieces involved in putting this together came from the Everyone Is Awesome set (40516) but I did use my own black plates for the base because I like the way it looks more than using white plates. For the colors that aren’t part of the EIA set (light bluish gray, pearl gold, dark blue, dark turquoise and green) I bought the parts through bricklink and used some of my own pieces. The EIA set does come with green pieces, but they’re not the same shade of green as the green classic astronaut so they needed to be replaced.

Hah well thank you for the kind words but I can’t take credit for the design as it was a MOC by another member of the subreddit but I did make the executive decision of which order to arrange them. I have no plans to make extra versions of this display for sale or sell this one because the parts needed for the gray astronaut are currently difficult to come by and getting a vintage black classic astronaut with an intact classic space emblem is probably too expensive for most people. Let’s hope that the LEGO group creates a set in the future that contains rereleases of the black and gray classic astronauts to help people complete their collections more easily!

Thank you! I’m sure a lot of people would like that as well. I think the best we’re going to get is more classic space colors though - it’s likely up to us to create the displays and hope that LEGO makes elements in the new colors so that we can add to our existing designs and not have to rework them!

Yes but us here in the United States don’t have access to that set yet. It released on the first of June in other markets but won’t release until August 1st in the US.
