Are the faces painted, or are they separate pieces molded in flesh-colored plastic? It looks, too, like the face plates are separate pieces, attached via a pin or nub molded on the helmet.

These look vaguely familiar. I can look in my references and see if I find anything.

Prost!

I do not know much about space toys but how about MPC? See this link below.

Yeah, those are the ones I pictured. I had some when I was a kid. Maybe these were modified by a collector, by painting the faces and adding the face shields.

Prost!

Yes, I remember them as being an MPC "dime store" item (although I bought mine at a local drug store). I never saw any with painted faces or clear face shields or such.

Hong Kong, not MPC. like so many - copies/based on/inspiered by, here is an offering from eBay that has a good picture that you can compare the MPC space guys to these - as well as some more recent Chinese spacemen, and even a 65-70mm View attachment 216496View attachment 216497Tim-Mee Airforce guy
