A water gun, mostly made of white plastic (imprinted like framework), with a green Eagle nose cone are the barrel end, red "rockets" at the rear, and green side pods.
There was a variation with a yellow body (the logo in silver, not red). The toy was later marketed in Ahi's "Arm's Master" series, dropping the 1999 logo.
Blister pack with colourful art card of an Eagle including photos of Koenig and Bergman.
See other Azrak-Hamway (ahi) toys.
Trade catalogue photo, with the Stun gun water pistol. Note the different (pre-production) art, with a smaller crude Eagle. They did the same for Star Trek, with a relatively accurate "phaser" water pistol and a bizarre "Enterprise" water pistol.

An interesting toy Eagle. The body is cast from a Dinky Eagle but very much wider than normal as it had a handle fitted beneath it and a figure (head and shoulders of an astronaut) on the top. The figure was fired into the air, then descended using its parachute. As with the Dinky Eagle, the nose and side pods were green, the engines were red, but the body was yellow.
