1960 IDEAL ASTRONAUT SPACE HELMET - Original Box in OUTSTANDING Condition!!!

Description: Did you ever just want to, like, abandon all your earthly stresses and blast off into the cold, dark, uncaring void? Boy howdy, have I got the piece for you. This is a vintage 1960 Astronaut Space Helmet toy in it's original box, model 4210-1, made by Ideal. Helmet has moderate marring on the visor and a few scuffs on the outside, consistent with age and use, and I'm guessing it was some aspiring costume designer that added the green and blue electrical tape racing stripes (undoubtedly for increased thrust as you zoom into the stratosphere leaving all your bills, failed relationships, and day-to-day anxieties behind you.) I've not tried to remove the tape, but you do you and feel free to have a go at it. The visor moves up and down as it should. Space 'mike' is intact, and entirely non-functional! It's a piece of plastic! The real star here, though, is the BOX. Original box is in spectacular condition considering its age, and features bold beautiful graphics in red, white, and blue on every face -- graphics including: Astronaut floats gently away from his rocket shuttle into the endless nothing, and it's so quiet. So peaceful. Nobody telling him that he's turning into his father.Astronaut gazes at his helmet, wondering if anyone back on earth remembers that he exists at all. "Maybe it's better this way" he whispers pensively into his non-functioning space mike, eyes staring off, searching for a horizon that isn't there.Blanket descriptors like "UNBREAKABLE", which isn't true, and "MOLDED IN FORTIFLEX", which isn't real! This piece is sold as-is, as shown, so please carefully review the photos and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! Item is oversized, and will be shipped fedex - will be packed and shipped extremely safely to keep original box in optimal condition!
