Eldon's 3D Scenic Moon Survey Model Kit from 1966. This is all kinds of interesting. Would love this to get a re-issue. The astronaut design is very similar to the 3rd one down in the previous John Polgreen post.
Its a very cool kit One of these was just up on ebay in oct totally mint with a start bid of usd 625.00,no takers tho` http://www.ebay.com/itm/351199168605 There were two other kits in the series,a sea lab and a prehistoric kit,also eldon had a toy line of billy blastoff astronaut toys http://thumbs.worthpoint.com/MixG8-PIZ2MoDxY1pyegKZi6u2M=/400x0/images/images2/1/0611/10/1_4294992295bceeddc46e136c9f56554e.jpg
I knew about the other two sets but that Billy Blastoff is a bit special. An ugly looking toy but the range of vehicles and sets is impressive. I feel a blog post coming on.
it base on Prototype of space suits and probes the little robot was proposal for Prospector moon rover program http://cyberneticzoo.com/walking-machines/1961-rca-dumbo-moon-walker-american/ the Suit based on ILC SPD-143 training suit it's odd how much of those prototype design for apollo end as Toys.

Cheers for that Michel, I think I need to look into the NASA prototypes a bit more. There's a blog post or two in them, I'm sure
