An American here. I watched and loved V when I was a kid. I was 12 when it aired in 1983 and would have loved to own figures or other toys from it back then. Had I known they existed, that is. Somehow they completely escaped my notice.

@jdh67522 жыл бұрын
Cracking episode. My heart was pounding when you were haggling the V items, and I thought it was going to go into a commercial break, a la 'Salvage Hunters' just to ramp up the tension. V items have traditionally been difficult to find on eBay often because of the name... "V". Unless they're advertised with 'Visitors' and 'TV Series' they can be easy to miss. I've seen all those items on various fan websites over the years (though not always packaged), and I've personally managed to get a few bits and pieces myself.

It's funny but I had the opposite thing watching the original V TV series again, I didn't like it as much the second time around. It's actually a lot more like a war movie in storytelling than a sci-fi show compared to Star Trek in hindsight. That aside that LJN visitor toy is still awesome, I love it's scale and the human face removal gimmick. The smaller scale stuff was nice too, I think LJN did a pretty good job with V, Magnum PI, and Dune for toys.
