CIPSA Art. 4928 Cápsula Cósmica

Art. 4928 Cápsula Cósmica Box Front/Back

A rehash of the Space Power Suit, Cápsula Cósmica appears on the colorful box front. It shows Capitán Meteoro in more detail inside the suit: Sgt Storm in an all-white suit (including gloves, leg-pockets, boots & bellows) with red straps, black buckles & zipper. The stars & stripes have been replaced by a black (blue?) rectangle featuring a yellow (gold?) blotch in the middle with 7-8 white dots around it - probably representing the solar system. The power socket at belly level is black (blue?) with a red center in thin circle left white. Glove & boot cuffs have a small red dot on the molded button. Helmet is the regular MMM item unlike what was sold with the figure by CIPSA.
