6 1/4 Inch Mercury Space Capsule with Escape and similar items

Be sure to add me to your favorites list 6 and 1/4" Inch Tall NASA Space Explorers: Mercury Manned Space Capsule with it's Escape Tower, New in Sealed Package Condition, with NASA Sticker. This is a still sealed in package condition, very nice version of a Mercury Spacecraft. It is both the main capsule and a removable emergency escape tower. It's made of hard plastic, and is just over 6 inches long, approx. 6 and 1/4". The Mercury program was to send the first Americans into space! This particular one is Friendship 7. The escape tower pops off of the Mercury capsule, and the hatch on the capsule itself opens as well. The escape tower's function was to quickly remove the capsule off of it's Atlas or Redstone booster rocket, and the capsule itself was to hold one astronaut. This was a NASA collectible, part of the Space Explorers collectible series. There is no date on the package, but similar ones I've had were from the early to mid 90's, so it is now between 30 and 35 years old. This is now RARE and hard to find! The package shows it's age and some storage wear plus remnants of a sticker on it, but the capsule inside is untouched. It comes with a NASA insignia in the package as well. This is a really nice version of this incredible machine! Thanks for looking! Check out my Store!
