Outer Space Men (Various)

Some very cool modern toys based on some very cool 60's toys.  Good explanation and description here:  http://glyos.wikia.com/wiki/Outer_Space_Men  And here if you have some loose change: https://theouterspacemen.com/

Peter Jones Cover Gallery (0000)

There is so much of Peter Jones artwork that I love, especially his work on the Larry Niven books, but for the purposes of this blog, here's some with spacemen in them

Any ideas?

It's clearly the same suit as seen in The Net (1953) but I'm not sure if its a publicity still for that film or something else entirely.  The Radio Times used the same suits, the same year to promote the radio series Journey into Space so this could be some other instance of rent a suit.

Would love to know if any of you out there can place the image or the origin of the suit.  I could be doing the costume people a disservice but it looks too particular to be something made just for the film.

Benson & Hedges advert (????)

I used to smoke and for the most part I used to smoke B&H.  One day when they make fags that are much cheaper, full of vitamins and less smelly I might start all over again but until such times arrive I'm quite happy to leave them in the past.

 

If anyone know which bit of the past this image is from please let us know.

M&M advert (????)

I think this is a rather brilliant image.  If anyone knows the year, I'll happily update.

 

Update: This is one of two images for an M&M campaign called "uniforms".  Go check out this website  Peter Alsante.  for many more wonderful images.  Big thanks to beamjocky for the point in the right direction.
