"V" 1984 tv series action figures

Postby **Manclad** » Wed Feb 28, 2018 6:04 am

On Twitter, You Tube and this forum I always see many requests for 80s sci-fi series "V". I reckon Reaction type action figures would be the best way to go. What characters are must haves? What would be your ideal wave list?

I'm thinking two 3-packs would be ideal. One for the Visitors and one for the Resistance.

Visitors 3-pack :- Diana, Lydia, normal trooper (lizard head maybe or cap and sunglasses)

Resistance :- Mike Donovan, Julie Parish, Willy (or perhaps Kyle Bates)

I came across my copy of this series the other day. I agree the 3-pack action figures would be best. And you definitely can't leave out Willie

These would be cool

I think this is one where you would need at least one vehicle as well, as they were a big part of it.

I'll be all for the shuttle crafts... big and small. Here is a pic of the planned 80s line which never happened. :/

Man I dreamed about that shuttle!

This would be cool. Have the visitor 3pk come with the shuttle [-o<

Was this from Reaction? These look really cool. I never knew V was such a popular show.

No this is from an old 80s toy catalogue. This was the planned toyline to accompany the tv series, but it was cancelled. They only ever came out with a 12" doll.

Everyone wanting to jump on the Star War merchandise bandwagon... lol

Those 80 hairdos...very funny.

This show delighted me and scared me at the same time.

Same! I was fascinated with Robert Englund's character and I remember a scene where he was about to eat a rat... :roflmao:

I don't know if I wanna see figures for the show though if you were around to see this in the 80's it was definitely a memorable show.

I think it came on Friday nights either before or after Miami Vice so it was definitely a high rated show for a year or so...the movies and mini series that preceded the TV show were WAY better...the show was kinda meh

Postby **monktoast** » Mon Apr 30, 2018 2:07 am

Yes, I agree about this. The mini series was awesome so any action figures would be a must have

Postby **conventiongeek** » Mon Apr 30, 2018 9:25 pm

Wasn't this a mini-series that they tried to turn into a full time series? The rebooted one from this decade doesn't count.

Yes, it was a TV movie, then a 3 part mini series and eventually a full time show...

It was also the most expensive show on TV at the time. Good stuff

Yeah I watch this mini series from time to time. Loved it as a kid I’d be all in on these.

This was such a great show for it's time. Michael Ironside played the role of hero that was a total jerk and enjoyed torturing the aliens. If you don't remember Michael Ironside he played the lead henchman in the original Total Recall..."See you at the potttty Richter!"

This show creeped me out as I kid. I was probably way too young to watch it but I guess I couldn't help myself. :eek:

Postby **AshleyWilbanks** » Sun May 27, 2018 6:51 pm

It would be cool if Funko could take those photos from the catalog and recreate them today, but honestly it looks more like something Super 7 would do now.

Postby **TJLAUTERBACH** » Fri Jun 08, 2018 8:59 pm

I loved watching this show and hated when it got cancelled.

Postby **Manclad** » Thu Jan 10, 2019 7:12 am

I'm bumping this cos

a) it's 2019
b) Funko has the license for this (since 2015)
c) we need more action figures
d) I found these fan-made images...

Postby **rowden** » Sat Jan 19, 2019 11:36 am

OMG! I totally forgot about this part of my kidhood! This is a GREAT idea!

They did a good job on these.

I'd like to see these released.

How excited am I that we are talking V!!! This takes me back!!! Amazing show during that time.

They haaaaave to do either switch out Alien heads or maybe a double head: human on one side, alien on the other.

They could do it the way the old 12" figure was with a plastic human head over the attached alien head. Not sure how it would work on this scale, but it would be interesting.

Postby **Manclad** » Thu Jun 20, 2019 6:24 am

For the sake of normal sized heads lol

, I'd prefer separate alien headed troops and then normal headed troops. Unless they have removable / replaceable heads, which would work too.

Postby **schmeebel** » Fri Jun 21, 2019 12:43 am

Right.

"V" is being released on Blu-ray and some of the stars (Marc Singer etc) will be at SDCC in a few weeks. Hope this sparks interest in action figures.

Postby **brooklyn_geek** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 2:49 pm

Very fond memories of this in the 80's though they ended it sooooooo badly... lol
