SIXTEEN 12 MICRO EAGLE TRANSPORTER & LAUNCH PAD
Sixteen 12 have announched that their Moonbase Alpha Micro Eagle Launch Pad which features lights and sounds, is now in production.
The pad has a motorised docking tube which connects with a Micro Eagle 1 Transporter, and features original dialogue and sound effects from the series.
The Micro set range will also feature a Rescue Eagle,Laboratory Eagle with Booster rockets, V.I.P.Eagle and Eagle Freighter, which will be sold seperately. There is also a hope to add and expand the range to include other ships seen in Space:1999, like the Hawk and the Swift, as well as other classic Space:1999 guest ships.
Here's some photos of the prototype models.
Lovely photos, as ever Scoop, and an interesting set.
ReplyDeleteWhat size are the Micro Eagles ?
They're around 5", Mish. Bigger than the Konami.
DeleteAs a point of interest, someone mentioned that the alloy engine bells do look a bit droopy or out of line. Obviously, the models in photos are simple 3D model prototypes, and are quite brittle. The final production models won't have these issues, of course.
Had my eye on this since it was first mooted. Shame that there's an issue with the music rights that prevents their use but this is still on my wishlist.
