Prototypes & Mockups
Spacex card back photograph shows what are probably pre-production colours of white over pale blue, with a radar dish that is smooth inside (top picture). A darker blue over white is shown in mock-up Golden Astronaut packaging in Multiple Toymakers catalogues (lower left).
A (presumably older) pre-production version shown in an early PR photograph has taller, more rounded windows with a distinctive door in the middle (below).
