The flexible shoulder and elbow areas of the space suits reminds me of Major Matt Mason, the beloved toy-line of my youth.
•• Major Matt Mason made a huge impression on me when I was a teenager -- mostly one of frustration! I'd stopped playing with toys when the series was introduced, in 1966 -- and in those days, for most people, buying toys for any OTHER reason was not a real option -- but I checked out the Major and his accouterments almost every time I found myself in the toy department of Woodward's, the big department store where I bought most of my plastic model kits in those days. One of the things I liked about the Matt Mason designs was those accordion joints, which were reminiscent of even older, fantasy designs I seen as a kid. Like these guys, from DESTINATION MOON… 
Something Wally Wood took even further, for some of his creepier aliens at EC and elsewhere. . .
