Included are two original back banners which are very hard to come buy due to the size and breakage, making these complete Mk1 Space Marines a very rare occurrence. Note the design of the elbow joints – this was a common feature on both the elbows and knees of the first standard Space Marine suits.

These terms have been assigned, quite reasonably, on stylistic grounds. The label of “Mark 1” is speculative – this design appeared briefly in the literature in conjunction with the design labeled “Mark 2”. The most cogent hypothesis as to its demise is that its bulk was simply too great and the Mark 2 design, which was being developed concurrently, proved more successful. Very few of these suits remain today, and those that still function are venerated and reserved exclusively for ceremonial use.

The nature of the design on the plastron has been fiercely debated by Imperial art historians - some say the design is a pair of stylized eagle wings while others contest that the resemblance is coincidental and they are ribs that reinforce the chest plate. The disk on the left shoulder pad was where the Chapter icon was displayed. The tubular ribbing on the edges of the armour plates, the high mounting of the shoulders and heavy boots are all recognizable. Though it looks unfamiliar one can see traits of later Terminator design in gestative form. Each tube contains multiple cooling ducts and fibre bundle relays. Such was the bulk of the armour that all necessary cabling is very prominent. The huge shoulder pads and sunken helm afford maximum defense from enemy fire. A cursory glance reveals that it is made for frontal protection. Brand New in unopened package!!! Rare Out-Of-Production metal figurines!!!
