Outside of Earth's 'shell,' SpaceX's Crew-3 reveal turtle as zero-g indicator

The "turtle-takeover" of outer space has begun.

Just moments after entering Earth orbit on Wednesday (Nov. 10), SpaceX Crew-3 astronaut Kayla Barron released a sparkling sea turtle to float above her head. The "zero-g indicator," a doll used to show that she and her three crewmates' were in the microgravity environment of space, was also a signal that "The Turtles" had arrived.

Though "Pfau" has now been identified as Aurora World's "Emerald Tara Turtle," it appears the crew has augmented the toy with a silver space helmet. Does anyone recognize the accessory from a different doll?
