Anybody think I was joking when I said that my post here last week was just Wave 1, with more to come?
Here we have Wave 2, and the '2068 Unity City Comic Convention Exclusive Captain Scarlet: Crater 101 Set'
The story of how the Angels got made is one of serendipity. I had already completed Scarlet, Black and Blue and was looking for more of the same figure in a local toy shop; without any luck, I might add. I was browsing the Star Wars section and I found a lonely comic pack with two Imperial Officer figures. One of them female. I stared at the female and imagined her in white. I grabbed it off the shelf and ran to the till. A real coup. It was half price at £6.50. Only one they had, unfortunately. Destiny Angel became the test model. I started looking around and found another four on Ebay for? £6.50 a pack including postage. Two weeks later and I had The Angels completed.
The 'Comic Con' set came about as an in-joke.
The Angels are the all-female Spectrum fighter pilot team. Their profiles are here:
