    Remember it? I'm obsessed!

    Dinky released the Interceptor, Shado 2 and Straker's Car.

    My favorite vehicle toys are by Grip Japan though.

      Love the show !!!

      Never heard of it until a few Museum guys coaxed me into giving it a try.

      There's something crazy-cool about it I just can't explain.

      It's like James Bond but not as boring

        Dude ...

        You're gonna find a lot of UFO fans here.

        Love the show but found it later on myself so I never had any of the toys. I did however pick up this AMAZING custom figure.

          Huge fan of the show! It is sadly underrated.

            I agree--Brian got me hooked, too.

            I wish it was more well-known, so we could get a nice BBP set of four figures from the show.
            WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

                    Between Brian here and my pal Andrew Leyland of Hey Kids, Comics, I REALLY need to find this series and try it.

                    We never got any of the Gerry Anderson stuff around here. I mean NONE.

                      I grew up with this series.
                      Absolutely love it. I've just started rewatching it on DVD.

                      Product Enterpise made some fantastic diecasts not so long ago, managed to get a Shado Command vehicle. Would still love to get their Interceptor and Skydiver!

                      I have all the vintage Dinky Toys...

                        Growing up around the NYC area the only Gerry Anderson shows we got to see on TV (at the time) was Space 1999 and Fireball XL5.

                        I only found out about Anderson's other shows when I started collecting in the 80's.

                        Perhaps other channels in different cities played more but in north Jersey that's all we got.

                        That said, thank god for New Jersey Network and their fixation with Doctor Who at the time.
