I dunno what the hell that is, but I'd totally repurpose that as Spike in Exo-Suit if I had one! :D

I'm no expert, but just going on some observations. The hairstyle is very 60s or 70s and the design of the space suit with a huge clear dome for the head and accordians at the elbows and knees looks a lot like ideas from around that time. In the mid to late 70s after star wars and televised moon landings, 2001 - a Space oddysey etc. toys of astronauts began to look a lot more like real space suits (did you ever see "Moon Men", small plastic astronauts and aliens?).

This looks to me like it belongs to a space station playset from the 60s, but from what I've seen there appear to be many manufacturers of these, I'm afraid without a production stamp it may be pretty difficult to nail its origin. You could try Plaidstallions.com, a 70s museum style site (reliving the 70s one catalogue page at a time is their catch phrase :)) or a long shot would be to ask a forum member, Jose, on the transformerland.com forum. He's pretty knowledgable, but their forum seems to have quietenned down dramatically over the last year or so. Good luck!

How about contacting Jordan from Toy Hunter on Twitter (@jordanhembrough)? Just a thought...
