Received basic training at Soviet Military Complex at Baikonur. Several sub-orbital and lunar flights on the Soyuz programme. Achieved first successful manual rendezvous with three other craft during Soviet Space Station project. On loan to NASA for additional two years training. Joined Action Force after special dispensation from Soviet Praesidium.

“Hot Jets is the best Space Pilot there is. Highly respected by both Soviet and American Space Commands.”

The Space Pilot Hot Jets came with a blue helmet, visor and uzi. He came as a carded figure but was also supplied with the Cosmic Cruiser. Has an interesting background as obviously there was a lot of tension between the Soviet Union and the Western countries. It is great that the creators gave a Russian background to an Action Force figure.
