Captain Scarlet Action Figures Wave 2 of 4 (customs)

Anybody think I was joking when I said that my post here last week was just Wave 1, with more to come?

Here we have Wave 2, and the '2068 Unity City Comic Convention Exclusive Captain Scarlet: Crater 101 Set'

The story of how the Angels got made is one of serendipity. I had already completed Scarlet, Black and Blue and was looking for more of the same figure in a local toy shop; without any luck, I might add. I was browsing the Star Wars section and I found a lonely comic pack with two Imperial Officer figures. One of them female. I stared at the female and imagined her in white. I grabbed it off the shelf and ran to the till. A real coup. It was half price at £6.50. Only one they had, unfortunately. Destiny Angel became the test model. I started looking around and found another four on Ebay for? £6.50 a pack including postage. Two weeks later and I had The Angels completed.

The 'Comic Con' set came about as an in-joke for collectors as this is the kind of thing that is made exclusively for the conventions in New York and San Diego.

Thanks. My 'Supermarionation Project' will be extending beyond OCS. Probably take up most of my customising up until next year.

The stuff I have been waiting for from America arrived this morning. A few paint touch-ups and I can finish up the last four figures. Been a long haul, but I think it has been worth it. Wave 3 this weekend and Wave 4 plus the 2069 Futura City Comic Con Exclusive Set the weekend after.

And it doesn't finish there! I have another 4 of the Han Solo figures I used to make the Spectrum Captains in my fodder box, with another 5 on order. Just need two more after that plus some other figures to continue my Supermarionation Project. I also have another of the figures I used for the Angels and I still need another. Probably going to take me well into next year, with a total of 50 plus Gerry Anderson figures.
