Notes
Later issues come to the market-place in the bubble pack style of packaging and then the window box but surely, this 1st issue in the all-card box with lots of colourful illustrations is the most sought-after.
This 1st issue version is presented in the original, bright ‘S.H.A.D.O.’ pictorial card box (wear) with a very fine decorative inner card stand backdrop and additional card piece.
Occasional small mark to the paint finish and note the slight dulling to some metal parts.
Note this is the version without the ‘Warning notice’ printed on reverse of plinth.
Earliest issues did not have the Warning notice printed.
Model is finished in metallic green with intact orange plastic legs, bright chrome and gold parts. With clear cockpit glass and a chrome interior. Grey space-suited figure.
In beautiful and unused very near mint condition – and comes complete with the white and orange firing rocket.
The colourfully illustrated card box has wear mostly confined to one section.
