Box
This is a small set with little content and of course a very small box. The colour of the background pretty much match the box art. A nice box art I would say, and at the side of it we got a minifigs scale while at the back of it are warnings.

Content
Inside the small box are a packet of bricks and a small instruction sheet. Instruction sheet contains parts number at the side of the building steps and advertisement of other impulse sets.

For the instructions, you can download it at: LEGO Website

Minifig
The minifigs got both side of his torso printed, the leg is printed as well. In addition to this, LEGO finally gives us the oxygen tank, but I dislike the helmet which is not air tight.

The visor is movable, can put it down if you like to.

K-9 Bot
The k-9 boat are divided into three parts, front, middle, and back. I can break off easily, not much of a strong support. But it is quite a fun bot, although the articulation is quite limited.

And the bot do not have tail. (^^") Here are some pictures that the K-9 bot are able to post.

At least this bot can do something other than firing the missile. This is why I said it is fun even though the articulation is limited, but I think LEGO should include a tail for it as an antenna to receive signals. XD

Extra pieces
After done assembling the K-9 bot, there are some leftovers that might be useful whether for your MOC or in future.
