SPACE IS THE PLACE!

SPACE WARRIORS

Star Date: 1981 

Co-ordinates: Planet Airfix

Mission: Highlight Space Warriors 

Sorry, for getting carried away with 

the heading, but these figures warrant

a little Sci-Fi don't you think? With the 
success of Flash Gordon in 1980 and Star Wars 
before that it was inevitable that Airfix, 
now struggling financially should knock out 
some space figures, and a great set they are too.
They were originally moulded in grey but also
beautiful silver plastic in 1995 which is superb! 
Space on the other hand gives one artistic 
freedom to do whatever they like, and these 
figures are proof of that!

Original grey set from 1981 

 

Silver set from 1995

The Super-Cool box is worth 

pursuing alone. You see 3 figures 

on the front...

...and 3 figures on the back. 

The being with the ring is on 

the side of the box!

The Cosmic Seven 

Lazer guns are plenty, a robot resembling 

a Samuri and a leggy blonde, resembling 

Jenna from Blake's 7, possible the only 

woman in the Airfix 1/32 range!

The names were made up by myself

and are totally fictitious!

Space Commander Ryder

Looks like Buck Rogers in a skirt!

Clia Andromorra

No space film can ever be complete 

without a girl in a mini!

Lizerat

Half man, half reptile with 

disco boots!

Zak Orus

A fine Android with a Dracula cloak!

 

R101 B3
The robotic one, but armed with
a sword?

Zargon

A contestant for the 

Space Olympics!

Ardatt Orion

Let's face it, an Android with

a Dyson hoover as a head!

His weapon tip was missing 

and I improvised!

An artistic impression!

Boldly going where...you know the rest!

Space Art

You can paint these any colour 

you like which is great!
