are some gerry anderson toys one-offs?

I wonder if anyone has collected all the various Gerry Anderson vehicles that were and are available as toys and models? One of each?

What I mean is one of each of the different vehicles that were released as toys and models. Maybe some of them are one-offs anyway.

For instance this toy version of the Captain Scarlet Liquid Oxygen Truck was released by Vivid. Is it the only release of this vehicle as a toy or a model? If it is a one-off are there more unique toys like this?


I suppose to do this you'd need a full inventory of all the vehicles that ever appeared in Gerry's TV shows and films [and comics?]. It would be huge. Does such an inventory exist?

  1. It would be really hard to do that for some Anderson vehicles when you consider unlicensed stuff, garage kits and the billions of oriental Anderson materials. I've got 8 different TB2's and that's not a fraction of what is around. Probably easier for collectors of oxygen trucks.

    1. ha ha! You can never get enough oxygen Kev! Maybe a better way for me to look at this would be a full list of all the vehicles in the TV shows and then see if a toy or model of them exists. Like a database. I did it for Project SWORD in the Nineties but that was easy!

  3. Wasn't there a toy that did that in the Sixties Bill? Blew up when hit?
