Louis Marx Toys Bell Suit Figure

Marx Astronaut Figures

The Marx produced figure came in three pieces with the base figure surrounded by the two halves of the bell suit. It came in several space playsets, and there were two that could be based on similar designs (the other was designed for JPL as a concept and looked more like a 50 gallon drum - you can see it in the bottom image). I've included several images...the figures are about 2 1/2 inches in height and could come in several colors and combinations. I've only seen the suit in silver, gray or white plastic, however, so it may only have been included in the earlier playsets such as the Operation Moonbase (image below).
