There can't be much doubt that this Woody Spaceman has been inspired by Major Matt Mason.
What with the bendy arms and legs and the distinctive limb rings he could be Mattel's Man in Space!
Beyond infinity and into the realm of Colourforms Outer Space Men I could see Space Woody being converted into one of them.
Maybe Xodiac
Or Electron+
or maybe one of the modern incarnations like Metamorpho, designed by Mel Birnkrant back in the Sixties but it took the Four Horsemen to release it around 2010.
Those "limb rings" were a distinctive element in so many space man designs of the day, weren't they. They even figured into some space suits in film and TV shows, if memory serves. SFZ
ReplyDeleteYes and I think they were on actual real space suits for Gemini and Mercury astronauts SF.
