Product Description
Sun Star Models' Mars Exploration Rover captures NASA's twin robotic explorers Spirit and Opportunity as a 1:18 scale die-cast model.
Highly detailed for its small size (5 1/4 inches wide across the fully-deployed solar arrays; 3 1/2 inches tall from wheel bottom to camera top), the rover's mast-mounted cameras, high-gain antenna and robotic arm are all moveable. This model's included 10" base is a replica of the rover's lander and (deflated) airbags. |

Roving Mars? Get Spirit / Opportunity... by Arcturus70 (In the Orion Spur of the Milky Way Galaxy)  5 Stars
March 07, 2008
As part of a presentation that I had to give on Mars for college classes, I purchased this model as a "hands-on" item to accompany the movie I wanted to show: Roving Mars. The model was well-received by all participants who just wanted to hold and study it. It brought the rover mission closer to home for many young people.
This is a great product; however, it must be treated with some care because of its small, moving parts.

High quality for low cost replica by R. Grokett (Florida) 5 Stars
January 06, 2007
Normal replica models can cost hundreds, so though this guy is far below that price, it is still a very good replica model. (Note, there is nothing to assemble here. Just unpack it and display.) Searching for Mars Rover toys or models, I found very few available. Basically, its this one or one that costs $$$, it seems. Luckily, this replica is quite good and low cost. Very nice for display. Its not a toy to move around, and not for young kids. But anyone with an interest in Space and NASA, and have followed the real rovers on their amazing 4 yr mission will like this.
