Yep - I'm a big fan of V. I didn't know about the other toys that the seller had in their store, though, like the Resistance pistols and target game.

Something interesting - Kenneth Johnson released a novel called V-the Second Generation that picks up 20 years after the original movie. He ignores the Last Battle mini and the series, which means several changes (no Red Dust, no Starchild Elizabeth, none of that). Fairly good read, although I thought some of his "shocker" moments were a bit predictable.

Dude, I was already about 21 when V came out.

OK, so you're a lot older than me

Well, there's the very cool 12 inch, which I have. It has a human face mask that you can pull over the reptile head.

Buy one: LJN V the Resistance 12" Enemy Visitor Figure - eBay (item 390024401145 end time Feb-14-09 11:03:19 PST)

I've just rewatched this miniseries after having not seen it since I was about 15, and now I really want to get one of those.

Yeah, watched the original V mini-series when it was first broadcast. Loved it.

But they set up a lot of cool stuff in the original mini-series which was never followed up on.
Like the Resistance sending that message into space to the Visitor's enemies.

If Kenneth Johnson had been involved in the V: The Final Battle, it would have been way better.

loved it as a kid and still love. i liked the Final battle as well but agree it did lose something when Johnson was pushed out. i have noth on DVD. the series was crap, monster of the week campiness. i tried watching some of it on SciFi a while back and just could not sit through it

It got bad during the second half of the season. They got rid of most of the cast, and pretty much forgot the story arc where the High Priest Xon was supposed to show up eventually. During the first half of the season, a boatload of hints were dropped that he was on his way to Earth to unite his followers and take on the Leader.

Unfortunately, it got extremely stupid toward the end, and Elizabeth ended up married to an unseen character (said Leader), and flew away with him in his shuttle with a bomb aboard planted by everyone's favorite she-gator, Diana.

Like I said, stupid.
