   Paul – Tim Mee / Processed Plastics – With many “copies” coming from So America . I’m told a variant of the one guy holding his “space stick” over head has him holding a gun . https://www.google.com/search?q=tim+mee+processed+plastic+space+figures&rlz=1C1_____enUS463US463&um=1&ie=UTF-

   One of the eight space figures Processed Plastic made in the late 1970s. Two astronauts, 2 “Buck Rogers” (woman and man with ray gun), 3 “Star Wars” (Darth, Chewy & 3CPO) and a space turtle this was an inspired set to take advantage of the explosion of space/fantasy themes taking place in the late 70s. A popular seller sold under their own name and their subsidiary division Tim-Mee Toys (acquired in 1964/65) name. Six of the figures were also made in a 5 inch size.

   Kent, the figures you are referring to were not 4 inches.

   Thanks Lynn you are right the figure in the picture is one of the bigger Processed Plastic (Tim-Mee) 4-5 inch space figures that were done 1:1 with the master sculpts. They only did six of the eight poses in this larger scale leaving out the other astronaut and I think the woman.

   Of course these were done to get under the price of the HASBRO, etc. Star Wars “action” figures … while still affording crossover play value!
