I think LJN toys ltd had the license for these dolls but not sure if they were ever released ?

Doesn't look like it.

I remember the toys, it was Mike Donovan's kid and his neighbour Josh.

That was a great series, scared me to death as a kid.

I can confirm the visitor figure was released.
I saw a Boxed one up for sale at the big collectors fair over at the NEC last year, think it was on sale for about £80.00, I offered the guy £60.00 but he would not take it.
Last i saw of it a japenese student was buying it.
This show was so cool tho I have the two mini-seires on dvd and the spin off show is avaliable on region 1

I have V on dvd the toys in that episode were specially made according to the original series director Kenneth Johnson.

I had the doll but I always wanted the toys in the show they looked GI JOE size and I love the spaceship he had too

I think he said that he kept the toys after finishing on V I did also here V was supposed to be getting re-vamped like Battlestar Galactica had been.

"Revamped"? Does that mean made 'gritty', 'realistic' and completely free of likeable characters? That seems the standard procedure to make science fiction accessable to the general audience these days.

As with BSG and DR WHO, I think I'll be sticking with the original 'V' if it gets a reboot. Evil lizard lady Jane Badler was one of my first 'TV' crushes.

Mine to Crimson it was mentioned in Forbidden Planet catalogues from last year but I think maybe it's been shelved as nothing more has come of it.
