I've got an SPV mould for a fridge magnet and a I've recently uncovered my Captain Scarlet poster I doodled on as a kid. I gave the guy Harry Potter style glasses.

OK, I have to admit it.
I got the SPV bath toy.
it was just too amusing.

hey! I got that too! And I know of someone building an SPV model, it worked until it crashed into a door, a bit like that scene in Avalanche.

"Colonel! I've crashed the SPV!"

Yikes! I've found a picture of Dr Fawn's head without his eyeballs! Creepy! Halloween has fallen!

Today, I bought a Captain Scarlet vinyl!

(It's by Cloud-bass) - its the Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons theme song but in 'S.I.G mix' and the 'video mix' (the one you hear at the end of the episodes).
That's just one of the vinyls I bought today*. And I wasn't even looking for them, i was looking for *cough* something else :wink:

- just proves that you can find stuff when you're not looking for it :grin:

.

MMK

* I also got a Thunderbirds vinyl - its a/one of the mini-album vinyls (can't remember much detail at the moment since i'm not looking at it at the minute)

I found myself one of those Captain Scarlet models that came in Rice Krispies in the 1990's, except, the model was painted pink. Obviously, someone was a Captain Magenta fan, not a Captain Scarlet fan.

I've now got Captain Scarlet trading cards! :grin:

not sure atm whether I have the complete set

think I'll check online :wink:

That's pretty cool MMK. I know I've got a couple kicking about somewhere, along with my SPV model. That's one of the originals.

Is this the one from the 90s with the Spectrum logo reversed?

I got two Captain Scarlet dolls for 99p each today! Charity shop bargain! :grin:

They're sort of plush, with soft arms and legs, but hard plastic hands, boots and heads (That waggle around in a frankly quite scary fashion...)
They are now known as Paul 1 and Paul 2. Paul 2's hat sticker is missing, so I can tell them apart. :grin:

There's just about always a way to tell one twin from another :wink:

... as you have just 'proved' :wink:

I got two mini SPVs from a car boot sale for 20p once.

:lol: When I bought some CS models (a while ago now)... I bought the OCS and NCS Angel jets.... so that's two too. :grin:

by **Intensity Angel** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 8:45 pm

I brought three Angel jets for 50p at a classic car show once. I consider it a great investment.
