Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I cannot praise the manufacturers of these Eagle Transporter replicas enough. They've brought to reality the dream of many a 70's child, who plunked themselves down in front of the television to watch "Space:1999", and wished for an accurate Eagle to play with. Back then, every replica of the ship was sub-standard in one way or another; The MPC/Airfix model kit was poorly detailed and every part was incorrectly shaped and proportioned, and the Dinky toys, while better shaped and more durable, were also simplified and painted ludicrous colors ( green, for example ). Another company, Azrak-Hamway, a purveyor of cheap plastic toys, even went so far as to rip-off Dinky by taking molds from their diecasts ( even copying the hideous green color ) and adding wheels to the bottom.
Finally, decades later, Product Enterprise has crafted an intricately detailed, pre-assembled and painted replica that captures the look of the ship very nicely, and looks quite handsome sitting on a display shelf. Originally priced at around $80.00, they are well worth the money to the Eagle devotee. This version is the one mostly often seen on the show, the transporter, with it's standard white cargo module. There are several other varieties available, including a few seen only once or twice in the series, but this version is the most iconic.
This model is already out of production, so if you're even thinking of getting one, do it now!
