| Yonezawa Astro-Scout |
In the early 1960s, Japanese toy manufacturer Yonezawa created at least two variations of the Moonsuit as tin wind-up toys. I've included scans of images here for reference, taken from the wonderful, out-of-print book Robots: Tin Toy Dreams : T. Kitahara Collection published by Chronicle Books (and available via the link at left from Google Books). This really superb reference features all-color (and some black and white), pictures on coated-stock and is an excellent reference for the robot or tin-toy collector. The images included here are from my paper copy, page 37.
Yonezawa X-27 Explorer
This is probably the most accurate representation of the Moonsuit by Yonezawa.

The Astro-Scout has a more accurate "3" from the Space General Corp. suit on its chest panel.
