The real reason I bought this toddler's toy was the potential I saw in it in a viable space themed setting. After some consideration I'm okay with the bright colors. Bright colors would make sense if, let's say, the thing crash landed and its locator devices were damaged. Those bright colors would stand out should a search party fly overhead. Secondly, it reminded me of the Robinson family's pod on "Lost in Space".
Pods of this sort are perfect for short hops away from either a mother ship, or from a colony and that's what I envisioned. A lone scientist takes his instruments and heads away from the colony to take readings. Readings of what? ummm pollen 😄 Okay, use your imagination. I used a couple of Marx Swoppet-style astronauts for these photos. By using a removable head and putting it on two differently posed bodies a scientist at work can be simulated. The Marx figure is 65mm so that gives you an indication of what works well with the space pod. Enjoy! Opa Fritz
