Signature Collection Eagle

Product Enterprise's 23 inch Eagle is, as the odd size suggests, based on the Replica's Unlimited 23inch Eagle garage kit. It has been changed to resemble the first 44inch studio model, although it retains many of the inaccuracies of the kit. It features sprung legs and a detailed cockpit backdrop with two astronaut pilots (the front of the command module detaches for access to the figures). The model makers were Ian Crichton and ManKing Ng.

Originally due in July 2005, it was delayed several times (November 2005, then February 2006, finally arriving December 2005).

It comes with a numbered certificate signed by Gerry Anderson (the text isn't grammatical English):

This is to certify that this SUPERMARIONATION REPLICA of the EAGLE TRANSPORTER is Edition No. 0001 of not more than 1500 pieces Worldwide.
I hereby certify that this model of the EAGLE TRANSPORTER is of an exceptional standard and representation to that of the original model featured in the television show I created, SPACE 1999.

Space 1999 was not a supermarionation series (the term refers to the puppet series created by Gerry Anderson). Product Enterprise has named the series of model replicas from Anderson shows "Supermarionation Replicas". The model also contains a short instruction leaflet titled "Instructions Of Detach or Attach The Eagle Head" (sic).

A Medical Eagle version (with red stripes, otherwise identical) was released May 2006, using 200 of the 1500 models. One obvious inaccuracy is that the red stripes are too thin.

A Lab pod version and Freighter pod version appeared in 2008, with just 200 units of each. There were small changes to these models: the feet are a lighter grey colour, the markings on the spine are more accurate, and the rear rocket nozzles are chrome plated
