Is she on-scale to have adventures with the Bob Ross army guy and co.?

Yes, this is a 1/6 scale (Barbie or Pullip size) figure.

Absolutely love it! Looks straight out of an old sci-fi movie!

Thanks! The iPad app filters turned a somewhat bland photo in to something kind of cool, I thought.

What a great suit. I’m ex˙pecting her to run into Spaceman Spiff.

I wonder how Spaceman Spiff would react if he encountered an astronaut who looked like his mom!

What a cool shot. And an interesting figure; I’ve never heard of these.

I had not heard of Cy Girls figures until relatively recently, the last two or three years. Apparently they were popular a dozen or so years ago, when they were among the first fully articulated female "action figures." Many versions were released, and the costumes and uniforms are often highly detailed and include many accessories. The Cy Girls were some of the first female dolls... or figures... designed to appeal to the action figure market rather than to the fashion doll market. While the bodies and head sculpts are considered outdated today, many of the outfits and accessories remain in high demand on the secondary market.

My first thought was the Robot from Fantastic Planet, she’s a very cool figure to add to tge adventure crew.

Yes, one of the members on an action figure forum noted the similarity to Robby the Robot. It's an interesting figure, with elements reminiscent of 1950s "B movie" sci-fi, pulp magazine art, and 1970s science fiction influences like 2001 and Buck Rogers and Battlestar Galactica. Unfortunately, the space suit is the stretchy vinyl material that decomposes over time, so most surviving examples of this figure have considerable "rot" affecting the uniform.
