Which can only be pronounced arse-torn-out I think, but you'd have to ask TJF, as I'm getting this gift from a legend-in-his-own-lunchtime Loyal Readers, and I'll definitely be tearing the arse out of it, it's not every day your self-confessed 'eemie' drops such a prize in your lap, so gently, and while he's been back and corrected some of his 'egregiousnesses', the spelling's still up there!
Box-ticking these semi-flat 'novelty' figurines from CP Inc./US Toy, you get six poses-each of astronauts (are you taking notes at the back there?) and aliens, they look like they were probably party favours, issued in the last decade or two, C ― P marked stuff started appearing in second-hand lots round about the mid/late-2000's?
The aliens, shades of Mars Attacks (exposed brains), which could further narrow down the issue date, and while one is armed, they seem more occupied in getting their first semaphore lesson off-pat! Approximately 50mm and manufactured in a dense polyethylene or 'propylene.
The Astro [star] Nauts [sailors], it's all Greek to me! NASA-like with no weapons or killy-things. "We . . . come . . . in peace . . . to do . . . no harm!", said Captain James Tiberius Kirk, before shagging one of the lady-aliens! I thought I was probably missing one pose, hence the reversed figure, but they are just similar poses.
