From Gilligan's Island. Season 3 episode 22. Splashdown. First aired February 20th 1967.
That's the same capsule as seen in "Nyet, Nyet, Not Yet" but with a new lick of paint. Unless I'm very much mistaken its the same spacesuit and helmet as well.

The helmets in Nyet, Nyet, Not Yet look a lot like The men in space helmets just without the visor,the ones in this episode are somewhat different tho the suit part is the same,it makes me wonder where these ones are from as I just cant see giligans island having helmets especially made for it on its budget,anyway check out the two side by side and see what you think

I was one way and then the other as to if they were the same or not. I settled on them being the same but with the suit collar ring being higher and that being enough to change the appearance. Still not totally sure either way - hence not adding the "men in space" label. Thoughts anyone else?
DeleteAs you say though, if they are different where are they from?
I think the Soviet helmets look just a touch rounder to me; the Men in Space helmets looked a bit smaller.
DeleteJust looked again and I'm feeling they are different

The Space suit is very good copy of Apollo moon suits adapted for Jupiter environment.

Cheers. Another one that's been lurking in the files for a long time. I really must spring-clean this year. Nudged into activity with thanks.
DeleteThis is definitely the same helmet that we saw in laverne and shirley but its missing at least two of the features that we see in the Men into space helmets,its missing the triangular indent at the top of the visor and its also missing the molding lines that go around the visor,could it possibly have been modified at some point?.Check out the comparison pic below

If they go back as far as Men into Space, and feature in all those other things, its safe to assume they would have to be maintained along the way, so I guess yes.
