Continuing my revisited look at the 12” Sixteen 12 Eagles, this is the limited release of the Brian Johnson signed Eagle Transporter, which was released in October, 2019, and is definitely one for the Space: 1999 merchandise collector who wants something a little more exclusive.
This one
crept in under the radar as there was no link to it on the Sixteen 12 website.
It carried a price tag of £249.99 + shipping, and anyone who ordered it was limited
to just two models. To get one the prospective purchaser had to email Sixteen
12 directly.
This special
edition was limited to just 300 worldwide, and came with a small photo showing
Brian at his home signing the pod tops.
To give it its
full title it’s the Space: 1999 Breakaway 20th anniversary Eagle
Transporter Special Signature Edition.
At first
glance it’s a standard Sixteen 12 12” Eagle Transporter, however, its unique
and exclusive aspect is that each Transporter Pod is individually signed by SFX
Director and Eagle designer, Brian Johnson, and comes in a white presentation
display box with a protective card slip case.
Open the lid
to reveal the deluxe satin fabric interior with an upper display area to place
the signed passenger pod.
In spite of
its higher cost, this exclusive edition sold out fairly quickly.
Given your recent thumbs up from Mr. Johnson this seems doubly impressive second time round Scoop! He must have had fun signing 300 of those pods! Did you get one?
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, I bet he had a touch of writers cramp towards the end of the signings. ;)
