ANOTHER LOOK AT THE SIXTEEN 12 MICRO RESCUE EAGLE

 Another reminder of some revisited photos of the pre-production Sixteen 12 Micro Eagles I took way back in 2020, beginning with the Rescue Pod Eagle.

The Rescue Pod first appeared in the episode, ‘Earthbound’, and continued to feature on Space: 1999 publicity material, and a selection of merchandise.

As far as I can tell, there’s no indication as yet as to when the actual finished items will be shipped. Not totally surprising considering  all the setbacks the last year has brought, but at a tad under forty quid each, I think it’s a fair assumption these individual Micro Eagles will be a sell out when they finally arrive.

As I said in my previous Micro Launch Pad post, these are just the pre-production models so expect the final models to be a higher spec. In saying that, the pre-production models still look pretty good, with plenty of detail.

As with the Launch Pad set, the Micro Rescue Eagle will come with a tiny in-scale Moonbuggy.

    1. The preproduction ones I took photos of were ABS plastic.
