Mighty Jack!

I first came across Mighty Jack [MJ] in Dennis Nicholson's bible back in the mid-1990's, where the Imai model kits are described. Since then I am not the only one who noticed a resemblance between Japan's Mighty Jack arrowhead emblem and that of the UK's Project SWORD. I featured an MJ toy on the blog in its first few months I seem to remember,

Both SWORD and Mighty Jack, were contemporaries in 1968, had amazing space-age machines and similar world peacekeeping roles, Mighty Jack being the name of the 11 agents who made up the organisation.

Reader and friend Arto agrees with me that MJ is So Gerry Anderson, so Thunderbirds! Here's the Wiki site and Arto has pointed out this taster of the original Japanese series of 13 episodes in 1968. Two of the episodes appeared in the States in 1986 as a film. Did anyone see it?

Anyways, here's a sample of some of the toys and kits I've seen online. There are more over on the cool Kaiju Korner blog.

Any of you collect Mighty Jack?
