A coworker of mine received this minifig from another coworker who received it as swag from an Aerospace tradeshow. I borrowed it to find out what exactly it is, and if anyone's seen it before. It's a single fig, all grey (grey hands, legs, torso) with a female face, a grey helmet, and a gold visor. It appears to be a Cosmonaut, I think. The set number on the bag is 3928, copyright 2002. It shows no hits on lugnet, brickshelf, or Lego.com. Has anybody seen this beastie before? I'm just curious, since it's not actually my fig (unless it's worth a LOT, in which case I'll see if I can buy it from my coworker, although its apparent novelty is very appealing to me.) Here are a couple of pictures: http://www.brickfrenzy.com/temp/3928-1.jpg http://www.brickfrenzy.com/temp/3928-2.jpg Adrian -- http://www.brickfrenzy.com

Adrian- Hopes he doesn't get his hopes up. I have no idea where this minifig came from or what is its association. Could it be representative of a company's logo or of a videogame?

That’s a really interesting find! Right now I wish I was in you’re position. If I had any information I'd readily share it with you. Contact the original owner if it’s at all possible. Knowledge of foreign products is scarce. You’re lucky to have (...) (22 years ago, 17-Mar-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs, lugnet.starwars)

		Re: Mysterious minifig?
Hi Adrian, I also have one of these minifigs, still in the bag. I bid on mine on eBay around six months ago. I asked around to see if anyone else knew where it came from and the most useful answer I got was that it was given away at a space expo in (...)

Perhaps the set is from a foreign S@H equivalent? (I know, I know, "Gee, you're soooooo helpful"...) -Andrusi && Sanity not included. (22 years ago, 18-Mar-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)

		Re: Mysterious minifig?
Hmm, some guy on Brickset (URL) is a pretty cool and hard to find promotional figure. I got mine in an eBay auction not from the original source. I have heard that these were given away at a Space exhibition in 2002, but that is all I know. I don't (...) (22 years ago, 29-Mar-03, to lugnet.general, lugnet.space)
