Funko Vinyl Soda NASA Astronaut 7,000 Made

each Funko Soda features a 4.25-inch-tall (10.8 cm) vinyl figure and collectible disc packaged inside what looks like an aluminum soda can (but without the carbonated beverage inside). There are now hundreds of Funko Soda figures spanning many genres, from cartoons and anime to comic book and movie characters to advertising icons and television personalities. The new Funko Soda vinyl NASA astronaut is modeled in a white with red stripes extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), or spacesuit, like the type that was developed for the space shuttle and is still in use today by crew members on the International Space Station. The figure includes the NASA insignia on its chest-mounted display and control module and is posed holding an American flag on a pole. There is an alternate "chase" version of the astronaut, too. One in six cans will include the variant, which is modeled after the bright orange Orion Crew Survival System (OCCS) pressure suit that crew members will wear aboard NASA's new Artemis capsule on missions to the moon. The suit is a modified version of the advanced crew escape suit (ACES) that space shuttle astronauts wore for launch and landings.
