CIPSA Art. 4955 Cañón Espacial

4955 Cañón Espacial Box Front

The CIPSA version of the Firebolt Space Canon, the box front features a US release Firebolt piloted by Meteoro. The setting is similar the Extensor de Podor box, with strange large "stars" on the black "space" background. Note that the contents include a cannon with silver/gray parts instead of the Mattel orange/red - this has led some to believe that the silver Firebolts are prototypes.

CIPSA #4955 Cañon Espacial (Firebolt Space Cannon)

The Mexican version of the Firebolt Space Canon. Text in Spanish.

John's Notes:

The Cañón Espacial is made of white and silver plastic (what is usually orange/red in the Mattel version is silver in the CIPSA version), similar to the silver/gray girders pictured on MMM boxes and presumed to be prototypes. Also, the control panel is completely different...sporting different graphics. The dish-antenna is also silver and different from the US version.
