Captain Scarlet was originally a puppet fantasy series produced by the legendary Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in the 1960s. A new CGI version is screening now and has attracted very favourable reviews. Now Corgi are producing die-cast vehicles inspired by both series!
Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle die-cast - "This is the voice of the Mysterons..." So began the first episode of Captain Scarlet in September 1967, Gerry Anderson's follow-up series to the incredibly successful Thunderbirds (now a CGI animation TV series showing in the UK). From their airborne headquarters, Cloudbase, the officers of Spectrum fight the invasion of these disembodied Martian attackers. The main weapon in their arsenal for planetbound defense was the SPV the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle! This lovingly produced 7" long die-cast replica is full of detail, including the opening hatch to reveal a Captain Scarlet figure, suspension on all 20 wheels (10 sets of 2), and accurate Spectrum markings. Comes packaged in a full-color window box.
