Tim Peake wore this emergency suit in the Soyuz spacecraft during his launch to and return from the International Space Station. It would have kept him alive had the spacecraft depressurised. The electrical and air connectors can be seen on the abdomen and a large blue pressure adjustment valve in the centre of the chest. Every Soyuz cosmonaut has worn a Sokol since the tragic loss of the Soyuz 11 crew in 1971, none of whom were wearing suits.
It was introduced in 1973 and is still used as of 2022. The Sokol is described by its makers as a rescue suit and it is not capable of being used outside the spacecraft in a spacewalk or extravehicular activity. It is similar to the ACES suit that was worn aboard NASA's Space Shuttle during launch and landing.
The Sokol-KV2, the current version of the suit, was first used on the Soyuz T-2 mission, launched on June 5, 1980.
The main improvement was the replacement of the rubber pressure layer of the Sokol-K with rubberised polycaprolactam (Nylon 6) to save weight. The visor was modified and enlarged to give the wearer a better field of view. Laces in the outer canvas layer were replaced with zippers to make the suit quicker to don and the pressure relief valve was moved from the left abdomen to the centre of the chest so either hand could be used to alter the suit's pressure setting. The improved arms, legs, and gloves of the Sokol-KV were retained although the liquid cooled undergarment of the KM and KV was discarded.
Major Timothy Nigel Peake CMG (born 7 April 1972) is a British Army Air Corps officer, European Space Agency astronaut and a former International Space Station (ISS) crew member.
He is the first British ESA astronaut, the second astronaut to bear a flag of the United Kingdom patch (following Helen Sharman), the sixth person born in the United Kingdom to go on board the International Space Station, and the seventh UK-born person in space. He began the ESA's intensive astronaut basic training course in September 2009 and graduated on 22 November 2010.

The table had a whole array of spacesuits from "2001: A Space Odyssey." There was also a 1/6 scale space pod, but I don't know if that was being offered.
About the spacesuit:
NASA plans to go back to the moon. Currently the new spacesuit for moonwalk is under development to be worn by the "next man" since the last moonwalk in 1972 during the Apollo Program, and the "first woman" in the history.
Several countries joined the NASA Artemis Program to suppoer the return to the moon!
Australia, Canada, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States of America, and European Space Agency (ESA).
This mech-scale LEGO MOC will be the first posable and playable mech- size LEGO spacesuit. Thanks to the large size, I was able to build the details of the life support system inside the backpack.
The LEGO building instruction and part list are in Rebrickable:
You can run, but you can't hide... Not even in space!
Space Suit Surge comin' through, with removable backpack, Sniper rifle, helmet that moves (much wow), and WAIST ARTICULATION!
PS: Flickr, Y U make layout look like poop? Poop, i say, poop!

iss059e005614 (Match 29, 2019) -- NASA astronaut Anne McClain displays a spacesuit glove that is part of an Extravehicular Mobility Unit, or spacesuit, worn during spacewalks staged from the U.S. Quest joint airlock. A U.S. spacesuit glove consists of several layers for extra thermal protection and comfort. Thermofoil heaters are also attached inside each of the fingertips in one of the layers of the glove.

“APOLLO GARMENT--Test subject wears Apollo overgarment designed especially for astronauts on lunar surface missions. The overgarment is worn over the Apollo space suit. Specially designed cover for backpack is not worn in this photograph.”
See page 34. A fascinating document:

Also note the interesting lunar overshoe design, this apparently being boot design no. 1. Excellent information regarding it, per the following extract from “Moon Boot: The story of the Apollo lunar overshoe and the race to walk on the moon”, by David H. Mather, published 2014 by “Space Effects”, UK:
“By mid-1964 continued development of the AX1L resulted in the A-4H suit which was supplied with heavy and restrictive thermal overgarments. This early prototype suit was notable for the fact that it featured the first of the three eventual and distinct lunar boot designs. The A4H boots were worn over the pressure suit and outer thermal protection, and took the form of slippers held on by Velcro straps. The thermally insulating sole was made of a composite material that consisted of a shoe bottom with 1” (25mm) spacers separating the bottom from the top portion. This created a raised platform and distanced the astronaut from the heat and cold of the lunar surface.”

The above citation/reference in no way constitutes my endorsement of the book, although it does look pretty damned good to me.
Last, but NOT least, I think the test subject is Benjamin Cole, Hamilton Standard engineer.

The actual set idea is not specific to particular astronauts but includes many spare parts to make your own astronauts!
“Technician inserts two inflight pens and a penlight in spacesuit pocket of Apollo 8 Command Module Pilot James Lovell about four hours before he was launched on a lunar orbital mission with Commander Frank Borman and Lunar Module Pilot William Anders. The Astronauts rode into earth orbit aboard a 363-foot-high Saturn V space vehicle following their launch at 7:51 a.m., EST, December 21, 1968. Apollo 8 is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s first manned launch using the Saturn V.”
Consider this, the FIRST manned flight of the most complex, most powerful rocket ever built.
Destination: the friggin’ MOON.
Steely-eyed missile men? The Right Stuff?
Yes indeed, and a WHOLE LOT more.
Awe inspiring.
Once in a lifetime.
May/may not be the same one. Interesting regardless:

Note that the name tab on the NASM suit appears to be “J LOVELL”, while the suit in the pre-flight photograph bears “LOVELL”. Most likely due to the original being removed after the flight, and given to Lovell, as I believe was the case with each mission, other than Apollo 11.
Neither here nor there; however, the name tab, U.S. flag and NASA/mission emblems are disturbingly faded, especially for wear only during Intravehicular Activity. Maybe some sort of conscientious conservation measures should’ve been started a whole lot earlier?
You wonder, of course, when you look at a human-shaped spacesuit with the visor down, if you are looking at a human, an almost-human, or five reptilian octopus creatures wearing one spacesuit. Thankfully, in this case, it's santa_sangre where the best thing I can say is that, if I am prey, she's been nice about it.
Lightpainting details: The gen3basic has a pattern that's intentionally reminescent the traveling-wave effect my neon tube would do. It was starting to flake out (need to do some further work on making it sturdier) and that's why it has a few gaps. I also had my lightpainting feather with the old 60 LED/M staff showing a checkerboard pattern using CircuitPython, except that it didn't read as a checkerboard the way I'd intended but in a new and interesting way.

The xEMU suit improves on the suits previous worn on the Moon during the Apollo era and those currently in use for spacewalks outside the International Space Station and will be worn by first woman and next man as they explore the Moon as part of the agency’s Artemis program.

The NASA Artemis spacesuit will be worn by the first female moonwalker in 2024.
In this LEFO MOc, all the details are implemented, including the portable life support system (backpack) based on the real design of the NASA Artemis suit. Shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hip, knees, and ankles are movable. The upper torso is hollow like real spacesuits.
“Astronaut R. Walter Cunningham places the Seismograph down after walking 90 paces from the simulated instrumentation package.”
Above per the official NASA caption/description on the verso.
“REFLECTING ASTRONAUT—Astronaut R. Walter Cunningham in a Moon suit reflects scientists and engineers in his face cover as he goes through a given task to see how well the suit and the Astronaut can work…Cunningham places the Seismograph down walking 90 paces from a simulated instrumentation package. Cunningham was going through the exercises on the Manned Spacecraft Center grounds at Houston. The exercises were a rehearsal of tasks he is to perform at Bend, Ore., next week.”
Above per the Associated Press slug/caption affixed to the verso, with some sort of indestructible military-grade tape btw.
Based on the excellent information here...

...Cunningham appears (to me) to be wearing an International Latex Corporation (ILC) A-2L suit derivation, depicted as Fig. 2.19, page 25 at the above link, but not with the Gemini boots.
Check out those gloves…damn…no fine dexterity there, and that ankle "joint" looks uncomfortable. However, this was only 1964, and probably pretty damned good for then. ‘Project Management’/Building 2 is in the background.
