I do like the The Professionals, but I can't say I picked up any of the spins offs, apart from the odd paperback and an annual or two. Did anyone have the Action Pack?
The crime buster kit, another piece of Professionals merchandise.
I would have liked them too back then. Now still as well if I could find them at a car boot! ha ha. I did find the Professionals plastic ID wallet at a car boot once, which I reckon is part of one of these sets. Thomas Salter were just brilliant at these types of sets. I had an adventure scout set as a kid and adored it. Lovely sets Scoop, thanks for sharing.
I've got a Pye pocketphone walkie talkie which is what CI5 operatives used, doesn't look like the one in that set though! Steed, Purdey and Gambit used them sometimes too.
Didn't even know it existed, but I'd have loved to own one. Still would.
ReplyDeleteThey do look interesting, Kid. I reckon the crime busters set gun accessories would make up something looking like an UNCLE special.

ReplyDeleteI guess you'd have to be pretty lucky to find a set at a car boot sale, Woodsy:)
DeleteI've got most of the annuals but that's about it (apart from Bodie's hairstyle haha ;+))

The annuals are okay, apart from the dreadful comic strip artwork:)
DeleteI have all the annuals and agree about the comics.

ReplyDeleteYes, I remember Woodsy blogged your photos featuring it, Kev
DeleteThat's really cool. I bought a replica of Bodie's jacket. A walkie talkie would go great in the inner.pocket.
