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.
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.
An Italian version of the packaging. Aquila is Latin for Eagle
Those graphics really are "grabbers" aren't they! SFZ
ReplyDeleteI love it, Zigg.
DeleteHaving 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.
ReplyDeleteNow, 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.
