Few films loom as large over popular culture as 2001: A Space Odyssey. Released in 1968, one year before Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, this Stanley Kubrick classic rewrote the visual language of sci-fi, favouring a sober, scientifically grounded realism over the pulpy spectacle that had been defining the genre up to that point. From its deliberate pacing to its meticulous production design, 2001: A Space Odyssey treated space not as a flashy playground, but as a cold, awe-inspiring frontier. That commitment to authenticity is a big part of why the film still feels astonishingly modern more than five decades later.
One of the story’s most memorable creations was the Extravehicular Activity (EVA) pod — a spherical spacecraft that looked less like a fantasy vehicle and more like something actually capable of carrying mankind to the stars. Compact, utilitarian, and quietly intimidating, the pod felt like an extension of real-world aerospace engineering rather than a Hollywood prop. It was practical, believable, and instantly iconic. Now, Executive Replicas prepares to bring that design to life in spectacular fashion with an all-new release that’s certain to send any collection into orbit.
Crafted in 1:6 scale, the EVA Space Pod measures 14 inches high and 16 inches long. Features include a fully detailed cockpit, complete with illuminated instrument panels and glowing computer screens, a HAL 9000 camera complete with a light-up red eye, and functional spotlights. Also included is a magnetic, removable rear hatch that allows access to the interior, and fully articulated tactile arms with opening claws.
Thanks to several years of careful and exhaustive research, Executive Replicas has ensured screen-accurate proportions and details throughout. As an added bonus, the pod is also capable of accommodating the company’s selection of 1:6 scale 2001: A Space Odyssey astronaut figures.
Currently available for pre-order through the Executive Replicas website for $1,499.99 USD, the 2001: A Space Odyssey 1:6 Scale EVA Space Pod is slated to ship by the end of the year, with a $180 USD down payment securing your place in line.
