Measuring 23 inches long, The Supermarionation Replica Collection Lab Eagle is the largest, most accurate pre-assembled Eagle model ever released.

This Laboratory Eagle comes from the personal collection of Andrew E. C Gaska, author and creative director of the Archaia Entertainment SPACE:1999 graphic novel series SPACE:1999 AFTERSHOCK AND AWE and CLASSIC SPACE:1999- TO EVERYTHING THAT WAS.
The Lab pod version appeared in 2008, with just 200 units made. There were small changes to these models from the standard Eagle releases: the feet are a lighter grey colour, the markings on the spine are changed, the attitude thrusters on the leg pods are now straight rather than 45 degrees, and the rear rocket nozzles are chrome plated.
Some examples of the Lab pod version released in February 2008 had significant flaws including the spine being twisted (due to poorly fitted components) and bowing, due to the uneven weight of the model. Iconic Replicas issued a statement on their website:
“It has been brought to our attention that there have been issues with the level of Quality Control on a proportion of our recent issue release - Laboratory Eagle. These defects include bowing of the main body and twisting of the main frame. These issues have been taken up with our agents in Hong Kong responsible for QC control and they are in the process of manufacturing replacements for these defective items. Any customers who have a problem can simply contact us and the item will either be replaced or they will receive a refund in full.”
The Lab Eagle in this sale was one such replacement, sent to BLAM! Ventures’ author/creative director Andrew E.C. Gaska from the store he purchased it from automatically when Product Enterprises sent them replacements. As it turned out, the original Lab Eagle Mr. Gaska had purchased as reference for his SPACE:1999 graphic novel series was not damaged at all, so this replacement has sat secure in a box for six years!
Again, this is the CORRECTED VERSION, and NOT a defective one.
As a replacement, this Lab Eagle was shipped WITHOUT certificate, plexiglass case, nor consumer packaging.
