Each rocket (only some of them light up) is resin-cast and hand finished for exquisite and unique detail. The designer, Jeff Brewer, has a background in the film industry (including flicks like Star Trek VIII, Men in Black, and Star Wars Episode 1) and he’ll even make you large scale custom rockets, for a price. The smaller “Fleet Edition” rockets can be yours for between $60 and $100.
