Light-Up Alien Spacesuit - SOAP (1977 - 1981)


A light-up alien spacesuit from the soap opera parody comedy series Soap. The silver painted suit features a silver chest plate with transparent plastic balls and wrap-around rubber tubes, padded codpiece, shiny armbands, ivory and silver shoulder pads, and a black belt with large urethane box and panel. One has a red button, pressboard interior and is very heavy. The other urethane panel has a non-practical keypad. The panel and box contain thin wires and red rubber tubes connecting them in back. Tags affixed to the belt read ‘Buddy Douglas, 32’ and ‘Jack/Elly Shafton’. The costume is in good, production-used, vintage condition overall.

In the untitled first episode of the third season (301), Burt Campbell (Richard Mulligan) is abducted by aliens and replaced with a look-alike. A small alien (Buddy Douglas) wears his spacesuit as he administers Burt’s physical examination
