That kills me. What’s the thing dangling from his personal area?

I think it’s supposed to be an air hose to control the internal pressure of the suit. But it’s probably just for decoration.

Amazing find.
In 1962, when I was 13, I got one of these along with its related high altitude flight helmet. This advertisement was in the back of a popular fanzine of the day.
Of particular interest is the fact that the model has the suit on backwards. I’m certain this was done to better display the alien-like pneumatic tubing running from ankles to wrists.
