Eggocentrics were one of several lines of caricature airplanes. Tukwila, Washington's IPT introduced these plastic toy model kits in 1975. They were sold in small hobby shops in the mid-to-late 1970s. Regardless of the aircraft type each model intended to represent, they all featured the same snap-together upper and lower egg shaped fuselages and wings. Spherical "landing gear" were a peculiar feature. Normally, Eggocentrics came with labels printed on clear tape. The DC-10 in McDonnell-Douglas prototype colors is from that firm's gift catalogue in 1979, and features printed details.
