April 10, 2015 was actually the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 13 near-disaster, and to commemorate the occasion UK-based Minifigs.me created tiny Lego versions of the three astronauts involved: James Lovell, Fred Haise, Jack Swigert. But also flight director Gene Kranz who played an important role in getting Apollo 13 home safely.
The astronauts are available in a set of three for about $57, or they can be purchased individually for about $20 each. A little pricey, but remember these aren’t officially from Lego. These are custom-made minifigs with highly-accurate spacesuits and likenesses as close to the real astronauts as possible.
The $24 Gene Kranz figure also comes with his iconic flattop haircut, and a tiny version of the Apollo 13 flight plan.
