The iconic character is an adorable dog who goes on adventures with his friends. He has been a mascot for [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-hole-1) since the 60s as the original Apollo 10 lunar module was made to "snoop around" the upcoming landing site that is Apollo 11. The figurine is wearing a tinted helmet that boasts BBC branding details throughout. Snoopy's face can still be seen through the tinted helmet with the slightly clear design. The rest of the figure is wearing a white clean space suit with some black contrasting details. The VCD Astronaut Snoopy is set to launch on Medicom Toy on February 27th.
