This is the plastic COMET/Cyberlabe. It is about twice the size of
the metal one and comes with little figurines of the crew that can be
installed in the cockpit. It was available in two types of boxes -
Japanese (Popy) and English (Mattel). The toys had differences in the
colors and the number of missiles. Here a Japanese BLUE-winged
example. Note the metalized color and the greyish stickers between the
segments. |

Here you see the English - Mattel version. The
cockpit is white - the wings are black - and it has red stickers
between the segments. It also came with (only) 4 black missiles.
