AHI EAGLE TOY: 1999

 Continuing the Space:1999 toy posts here's some pictures of the 1976 Ahi Eagle transporter on it's groovy backing card, which is pretty much the same as their 'official' Stun Gun packaging.


Ahi obviously took their inspiration from Dinky, although theirs's  has a friction drive motor in the pod. Even the choosing to go with the green livery. (and a yellow pod) 

I'd still love one in my collection, though, and I love that pink card planet surface plinth. 


An alternative version, with white pod, and dark planet surface plinth.


A later version without plinth (and no visible  ATV licence wording on the card as far as I can see)


An Italian version of the packaging. Aquila is Latin for Eagle

    Having the Dinkys as a child, I turned up my nose at this toy since it was such a blatant rip off. The fact that it had wheels ( as so many Eagle toys did at the time ) rather than the cool landing feet was a turn off as well.

    Now, as a nostalgic adult, I too wouldn’t mind having one in the package. I did manage to get the AHI friction motor version of the MPC Space:1999 “Alien” car… a model kit which had nothing to do with the series and yet AHI decided to knock that model off as well, lol.
