Product Enterprise Die Casts

Today, at last, I have received Product Enterprise's "Eagle" die cast. After
I realised they aren't answering my E-mails, I ordered it indirectly from
"Comet miniatures" and it arrived after a few days. As for model itself, it
has to be seen to be believed. On the reverse of the packaging (which is a
masterpiece itself), first in a row of "coming soon" models is proud picture
of 9" UFO Interceptor, which is supposed to come complete with a 5" in
diameter UFO replica. If "Eagle" model is anything to judge from, us, UFO
fans with model inclination, will have the reason to celebrate in June.
Also, in accompanying "Comet Miniature's" material, it is evident that 12"
Skydiver with detachable Sky1 is also moved forward from August to June.
Great!

All the best,
Branko

I have had my Product Enterprises Eagle for a few weeks now, I concur
with Branko. Taking into account the cost, it a superb piece of
engineering and is not what you think of as 'normal' diecast model
[forget your Dinky's and Corgi's] it is truely is a model - for more
reading I would suggest anybody interested should pop over to British
Invasion Forum of Starship Modeller site were quite literally this
model has been disected. If PE keep the same standard for the planned
UFO vehicle's it will be something to look forward to.

Hi Folks;

The other day I saw this guy named Englebert Humperdink on David
Letterman. And as he interviewed, from both his speech, accent, mannerisms,
and look of his face, rubber lips, eyes, hair, & build, I could have sworn
it was an aged Darren Nesbit of "The Man Who Came Back".
Is it possible these two men are really one and the same, and that's
just his stage name?

Dave H.

You're right. There is a striking resemblance. On checking they were born in
almost the same year, both in England (although he says he was born in
Madras, India). The trouble is that good ole' Englebert made most of his
hits in the sixties/seventies which was also the time when Derren was at the
height of his acting career (Where Eagles Dare, Monte Carlo or Bust, The
Blue Max etc.) ... Would have been awfully busy, and logistics a
nightmare...

Maybe one or other is a Doppelganger? ;) ...one that escaped from RITW, and
is still out there...

Engelbert's real name was Gerry Dorsey (he was somewhat successful under
this name as well) but it was when he changed it to Englebert that it really
took off. They both had theatrical fathers... could even be brothers. Of
course the real Englebert Humperdinck was a classical composer (B1854-D1921)

Are Darren Nesbitt and Engleberg Humperdink the same person?

HaHa HaHa hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Kerplop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry had to get that out of my system first. No, they are not the same
person. Darren Nesbitt is still acting under his own name. He was in one of the
Christmas Pantomine shows in this past years(sorry I don't remember which
one). Engleberg Humperdink was one of the big Pop stars of the late 60's early
70's. He was sort of a
new age Tom Jones and even like Tom Jones had a TV series in the early 70's
both I might add produced by ITC the same as UFO.

No, definitely not. Engelbert is a very famous performer in
the UK, or at least he was a household name in the late '60s and
'70s and they definitely aren't the same person. He even kept
the Beatles' best ever single from reaching number 1 in the
British charts (Penny Lane / Strawberry fields only made it to
number 2, failing to knock Engelbert's 'Please Release Me' from
the top spot in 1967). If he HAD played a SHADO operative, he
would be easily the most famous actor to have appeared in UFO,
by some way - at least in the UK.

I see what you mean though, now you mention it - there is a
strong resemblance.

James

UFO is one of the best sci fi shows but i doubt if Englebert H. would have
appeared without a huge part in the opening credits. Englebert H. has dark dark
hair. Mr nesbit has dark red hair. The resemblence is uncanny. Maybe they
were seperated at birth. S
