This popular astronaut shares the same basic bodyconfiguration as a version of Robby the Robot that was produced by Nomura inthe 1950's, so it's possible that the Astronaut came out in that decade. He ismeant to portray an astronaut in his space suit and helmet, as opposed to somany other toy robots of that era that featured a similar head but were stillsupposed to be robots, rather than a man in a suit.
Note: This astronaut was reproduced in the 1990's and againrecently; even these reproductions can be pricey (though collectible). Termsof SalePaymentis due within 3 days of the auctions end.
