I've always suspected the Mystery dude was originally meant as an add on for a specific retailer. You know--"buy this playset at Consumers Distributing and get a free astronaut figure".
If this was the case, the most likely scenario would be he was to be included in one of the POTA sets.
The deal fell apart, and Mego was stuck with a bunch of these guys, who the quickly added a header card to the poly bag, and sold them through as one of their rack toys.
Again, this is just my own personal theory.
