As if the image of Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin rocket launch wasn’t burned into our collective retinas already, fans of the sexualized spaceship can now own their very own scaled-down model — for a suggestive price of $69.99.
Manufactured by Blue Origin merchandising partner Estes, maker of high-quality model rockets and launchers, the toy is 1/66th the size of the New Shepard, with an ability to launch up to 400 feet in the air.
Last month, the billionaire Amazon founder was aboard during his rocket’s inaugural space launch, ultimately reaching 62 miles above sea level before riding jet-powered rod back down to Earth.
“Estes is proud to partner with Blue Origin to provide a piece of history that inspires kids to dream and imagine. The ready-to-fly New Shepard model is a perfect addition to your office shelf or launch it to recreate the spaceflight for yourself!” the company’s website reads.

According to Estes, “It too, after deploying the capsule, falls through the atmosphere under a large parachute to gently touch down. Like the Blue Origin New Shepard, you can fly the Estes New Shepard again and again.”
A promotional video, available via YouTube, provides a side-by-side look at the New Shepard and its miniature in-action. But the real action was in the comments section.

“My sister has one of them in her drawer,” joked one viewer, as reported in Gizmodo.
A limit of 5 units per customer is already in place for pre-orders, indicating that Estes expects the rocket to soar off the shelves. . .
