Icons Jupiter 2
Update
Here is a word for word email J2 update.
1/8/99
Subject: J-2
JUPITER 2
As indicated in our 1998
catalog, the Jupiter 2 miniature replica
originally scheduled to ship summer of
98, with optional drop in interior to
ship spring of 99, will now be shipped
with the fully illuminated interior
(including, astrogator, sleep tubes and
wall details) as a built-in unit. Master
prototyping on the J-2 hull has been
completed for some time, built by Jim
Key (Aliens 4 and Titanic). The fully
detailed interior master, fabricated by
Randy Cooper (Starship Troopers,
Stargate),is in the final weeks of
completition.
After much engineering,
research and development, and
discussions with manufacturers in Asia,
it was decided that the deluxe J-2
(which will feature metal
components)would be better served with
the interior built in. The extremely
intricate detail and lighting would be
too expensive to produce in the states.
The final retail price of the deluxe J-2
is forthcoming. For those customers who
placed advanced orders,
their purchase price will be applied to
the deluxe version. Scheduling for a
shipping
date is pending as ICONS awaits a final
product sample from Asia. Two limited
edition manufacturing blueprints of the
J-2 (including details of the interior
and the hull-separation feature) will be
sent to you within 3 weeks. ICONS
product development department states,
"the J-2 ICONS miniature was envisioned
as an extremely detailed replica along
the lines of an oversized Corgi or
Danbury mint style collectors
piece.Using extremely intricate laser
etched metal components. This edition
will go down in history as the finest
"executive toy ever made." Well worth
the wait.
