Available to pre-order now from our online store are two Space:1999 Eagles from Eaglemoss Hero Collector, who have for many years been producing beautiful die-cast and plastic models based on vehicles from the worlds of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, The Orville and more - and now they're launching into the Gerry Anderson universe with a range of Space:1999 Eagles!
Designed by Academy Award-winning SFX director Brian Johnson (Alien, The Empire Strikes Back, 2001: A Space Odyssey), the Eagle is the iconic hero ship of Space:1999, and the primary transport for the crew of Moonbase Alpha. Powered by 4 fusion rockets, the Eagle could reach speeds of 23,700 miles per second, and fly for up to 48 hours. The addition of booster units to its super-structure offered the Eagle One a substantial increase in flight range and power. The Eagle (or "Type A") could hold 8-12 passengers, plus the pilot and co-pilot, sacrificing space for scientific equipment or weaponry in favour of a passenger pod.
This modular vessel had many alternative configurations, and the collection launches with a choice of two: the standard Eagle transporter, or an Eagle transporter with four vertical booster module units as seen in the second season episode New Adam New Eve.
