“Hawkwind is a tough no-nonsense soldier, very proud of being Swedish. Breaks into song when in a cheerful mood”

The Space Security Trooper Hawkwind came with two types of weapons. Originally he came with a blue uzi and a silver SA80. The silver weapon was later replaced with a blue space rifle.

The rifle has a wire that can be attached to a hole in the figures back (shown below). His figure mould was used for the Space Patroller. He came carded and also with the Satellite Defence vehicle.

Body Mould

The Security Trooper has the Space Force emblem across his chest. He has quite a bulky torso which appears to be armoured. He has oxygen pipes that go from his front face mask (rather Darth Vader-like!) to the rear and up his head. On his back he has a hole in the middle of his upper back. The Space rifle wire can be placed into this. The back resembles a power pack and so maybe this was used to power up the weapon? He has ammo pouches on each hip and pockets down both legs.

ACCESSORIES

PACKAGING

The Space Security figure came as a carded and it also came with the Satellite Defence vehicle.

File Card

Information about the figure could be found on the back of the figures file card (the Datafile information). Each figure also had an individual medal number for the mail order offer. The Space Security Trooper number was 39.

VARIANTS

The Space Security Trooper figure version one had plain orange legs, version two had yellow highlights on the legs and side pockets.

The Security Trooper is a variant of the Space Patroller. The German figures Condore and Meteor also has the same figure mould.

LOOKS FAMILIAR

The blue uzi was also supplied with the Space Patroller, the Space Commander, the Space Pilot and the Space Force Battle Gear.

The blue Space Rifle was also supplied with the Security Trooper, the Satellite Defence and the Space Force Battle Gear. The German figures Condore and Meteor also came with the blue space rifle.

The Space Rifle was a repaint of the G.I. Joe Flash’s weapon.

The silver SA80 was also supplied with the First Series Arctic Assault figure and the Ground Assault figure,

The Space Security Trooper has his own Datafile. Strangely, it does not show the Satellite Defence vehicle on it. The Space Force Security Trooper Datafile also seems to have the Space Pilot on it. The Space Commander and the Space Patroller both show the Satellite Defence Vehicle on their Datafiles.
