I didn't think Tommy Gunn survived the 60s! Apart from a few accessory packs, I never had any Tommy Gunn toys as a kid, because they were all significantly more expensive than Action Man! As a keen giant robot fan, I was VERY DISAPPOINTED to see Caidoz's face is such a blatant rip off of the original RX78 Gundam head!
The Caidoz figure is completely new to me Looey. I had a Tommy Gunn soldier figure from Zodiac as a kid but never anything like this. I suppose its like Action Man going all Space Ranger later on, which I never had either. The Tommy Gunn Commander in the link you've shared is again wholly new to me and must be an incredibly rare figure. The GP's collection in that link sounds totally amazing. I wonder of these two figures are the holy grails for Tommy Gunn collectors?

Thanks to the wonders of Mr Google, I was able to find this image of Caidoz and a Tommy Gunn spaceman...
