SWOPPITS?!
SPECTRUM Is Green!
Now,a while back I mentioned that I had,sadly,neglected to purchase 54mm [1/32nd] scale Captain Scarlet figures.
I was mocked! Yes,people doubted that “Mr Memory” had seen these figures. “Never been made!” I was told. HAH!
Check out the images below of Timpo “Swoppit” figures. Pretty clear for a false memory,huh? It was clear why I was put off buying –all the Spectrum agents [no,there were no “Angels”] were in exactly the same position! Not much scope for a game.
Col. White & Captain Scarlet
Still,wish I had purchased them now! Purchase for 5p in the 1970s you can be ripped off for £37 for Colonel White and £35 for Captain Scarlet. Obscene pricing.
