Anyone hear of this line before, i think it was released in the UK. They were based off a TV show like Thunderbirds, from 1983. Would love to get a set of figures. Check out this site with some pics: www.fab1.net/t-hawks/collect.htm |

I remember the line pretty well, didn't have many of them though. The series was first shown here not long after Star Fleet and I always thought it came a poor second. I have a Space Sergeant 101 left, but it has a melted area on the back of the head from a reaction with another plastic  I ebayed my Action Zeriod sometime last year. This must rank in the top ten of crappy action features, wind it up, press the button and it drops to the floor and wobbles slightly for a few seconds  Looked nice though, and weighed a fair bit, Some of the other die-cast stuff was pretty nice too. There's usually a few bits on UK ebay, the loose stuff seems quite cheap. |

I was able to pick up a complete set lately. I really like the figures, but have never seen the TV series. Where there any vehicles or playsets made for the line (that were in scale with the figures), or only the figures? Both of the withes i have (lloose & MOC) have some kinda fungus crap growing on them. Almost looks like paint wear.

As far as I remember there were never any vehicles put out for the figures. There was a range of die-cast vehicles, mainly small scale stuff but I think there were a few larger versions of the ships.
The series was pretty good, typical Gerry Anderson stuff. Worth a look if you like that sort of thing but I don't know if it's ever been released on DVD.

Actually i just saw DVDs for the series at Zellers for $5 each. There are about 6 or 7 episodes per DVD.

While I was sorting through some stuff I came across my old Zeroid safety target game.  These were made by Zodiac Toys, who also had toy shops when I was a kid, so I don't know if they were ever released overseas. btw, anyone else from the UK remember Zodiac Toys? I used to love that place as a kid  |
