Set Review - #40767-1: Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut - GWP

We’ve had a few up-scaled minifigures to include #40649-1: Up-Scaled Minifigure and #40819-1: Up-Scaled Racing Driver Minifigure. Leave it to LEGO to release an upscaled baby minifigure, but to make it a SPACE BABY! #40767-1: Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut was released as a GWP on 15 May 2025. It had two open periods. We’ll see if it shows up again. The set contains 250 pieces.

The front of the box shows the full set while the back also shows the full set only at an angle. Maybe they couldn’t think of anything better to do.

The set contains four parts bags and an instruction booklet.

Bag one assembles the legs and then starts on the torso.

Bag two builds the torso and arms. The hands are rounded pieces so you don’t get the look of a minifigure hand with the grip. I can think of a few ways they could have done it or even flipped the pieces they used around, but we’ll take it I guess. You get a 2x4 red printed tile with a classic space logo which is awesome.

Bag three starts on the head. No surprise item inside like the larger minifigures, but there is a printed mouth and eyes. Good to see no stickers.

Bag four finishes up the build with the rest of the helmet and then the oxygen tank.

There were a bunch of complaints about the arms and how you can see lots of studs towards the shoulder. A few people have posted their re-designs so if it irks you, feel free to use your own pieces to fix it. If you have a copy of #10497-1: Galaxy Explorer, then you have a 2x4 blue printed classic space logo and could try and turn this figure into a blue space baby. I’m not sure if all the other pieces are out there, but it’s got to be pretty close.

This is a GWP so depending on what you purchased to qualify for it, it’s either too expensive, just right, or cheap. You can grab it on the secondary market too. I recommend Bricklink. Like maybe the Bricks for Bricks Bricklink Store.

Happy building!
