Always wanted the visitor ljn doll. Never find it loose and complete, and boxed ones are out of control when i am looking to buy.
That's how I was too. Until now. Just picked up a small collection of V stuff that had a boxed complete figure, several sets of trading cards, and a couple life sized weapons. Pretty cool, loved the shows.
I was hoping Super 7 would pick the licence up for Reaction, a wave consisting of:
Donovan
Ham
Juliet
Martin
Diana
Lydia
Shocktrooper
Visitor Officer
That would do very nicely thank you!

When I think of all of the Toys that died with LJN, it makes me so angry.
LJN essentially went the way of the do-do because of those stupid Entertech Guns.
If they never made those, we MIGHT have gotten the unreleased V figures, More WWF wrestlers and Thundercats.

I am a HUGE fan of "V" ....
Recently finished up a blu ray rewatch of V mini series and V The Final Battle - I don't have it in me to continue to the one full season.
How a toy company has not jumped on this is beyond me. If someone ever steps up to the plate, I am ALL IN.

If I did that there would have been a huge red V on my butt. Courtesy of two belt welts.

Unfortunately V is a product of not being allowed to produce the toys, something about an agreement with Lucasfilm?
if the license were used today likeness rights could make this prohibited. Would love to see V solders at the very least.

V was allowed to make toys, You are thinking of Spaceballs. V had a 12" figure released, but nothing else here in the USA

Looked into it a little, The toy company got the 12" figure out but due to season 1 of the series tanking they abandoned the 4" toy line. Some pictures/info in the link below. However with that said behind the scenes Lucasfilm was very agressive about not having competing toy lines with Kenner/Star Wars. I have heard that came into play. But one of the reasons V toys are not made today is that they would need to secure the likeness rights for the "human" actors which may make the toys cost prohibited. I know Boss Fight has been asked several times about V toys, but they won't comment on unannounced or licenses they can't aquire.

Aw man! I'd be all over those vehicles!
I was watching random toy videos about 80's toys and I think one of the reasons was also the company was in financial trouble. Somethng else of interest was the reason figures went down to 4". The cost of oil went up dramatically so it was cheaper to shrink down the toys. I think I heard that in a Micronauts video.

Oil shortage in the 70s made a lot of plastics companies hurt badly. Look at the mego heads from that time...they all turned zombie gray.
