2. Back in 2003, China’s first astronaut, Yang Liwei, returned to Earth after orbiting the Earth in a Chinese capsule. But a flaw in the capsule exposed Liwei to excessive G-force pressure, splitting his lip and drenching his face in blood. When he landed, workers opened his capsule, cleaned him off, closed the door, and then reopened it for the news cameras.

Astronaut Ape and other toys

A few toys that recently caught my eye:



Bertie Mk2.





As far as I can tell, it's the X-11 Witch Neuroi figure from Dimension Diver based on a show called Strike Witches.








Nice looking "Adam" astronaut gorilla toys from Winson Creation, which could be used as a textbook example of bad web design.






Wolfman (based on the upcoming movie) and Zombie Mez-Itz coming soon.

Papercraft Rambo by Mario Moreno. As far as I can tell, the template has not been made available. Check out Mario's papercraft astronaut, also.
