JUPITER-2 (ICONS PROTOTYPE) |
Updated: June 25, 2006
This one of a kind Jupiter-2 was the prototype Jupiter-2 replica made
by the Icons company. Molds were pulled from the original 4-foot
miniature used from TV series. The Jupiter-2 was nearly completed,
missing one computer console, view windows. The fusion core also
needed some work, but did work with rotating lights. Interior lights
also worked, with no interior developed. The clear plastic top
dome was also inside the Jupiter-2, and was later added to it's
respected place. This is the only prototype Jupiter-2 Icons ever made.
I obtained this Jupiter-2 from an x-employee of Icons that was owed
money as with many others. This was a terrific Jupiter-2, and well
worth $500. or more dollars if Icons ever stayed in business. I
was personally contacted on this piece, and bought it to perserve
and to protect this valuable property. Hopefully I can use or help
Sci-Fi Metro or others in the near future when making the Jupiter-2
prop, or model available for the long awaited fans?
The last photo shown is the past owner of Icons, Jim Latta holding
the Jupiter-2 prototype. Jim personally sent me this photo several
years ago, as a thank-you., and to help generate interest and sales
for Icons.
Value: $5,000.
