SOMA SPACE SHIP: WHO IS THE PILOT?


I've often discussed the SOMA Thunderbird 5 knockoff Space Ship.

Like the variation post I did in 2017.


Today I thought I'd revisit it to look at something else.

The figure inside.


Its an odd figure like a racing car driver called Stig!


He appears to have a black visor, black gloves and boots and a black decal on its chest.


I've seen similar figures. I assume he's meant to be an astronaut but he has a distinct racing driver look.

I'm leaning towards a mixture of the two and that leads me to thinking SOMA made a knockoff of those guys driving Dinky Lunar Roving Vehicles and their ilk.


What do you think readers?

  1. They are a bit like Gemini spacesuits rather than Apollo ones.
