THE 'V' ENEMY VISITOR ACTION FIGURE

Remember these?  The 'V' VISITOR ACTION FIGURE (with action features) was a mainstay of the STARLOG TRADING POST for years (along with a lot of other goodies) and was one of the few pieces of merchandise relatively easy to find (at least via mail order.... I never saw one in a store) once the show closed.

Now, of course, people would go nuts for these.  But they didn't seem to be a fast seller at the time.  They were the only 'V' action figure to actually go into production (except for some not-very-bendy bendy toys which went on sale in some overseas markets).  There had been plans to launch a whole line of STAR WARS-scale figures and vehicles but it was abandoned as soon as it became clear that NBC weren't scoring high numbers with the weekly series and the chances of it becoming a break out (ho-hum) hit - or even staying on the air - was diminishing by the week.
