Alain Lapointe Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I've found the variant for the Camy astronaut bringing the air conditioning case, which has been turned in a sort of sphere with handle. 'thought that was the only changement, but the silver one is smaller, slightly different face, some wrinkles more on the suit. The base also is smaller and with a different shape. Yet in Spain is identified as Camy from the series of the premium figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space.trucks Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Far Out: I have a couple of these incoming from the Action Man (pseudonym) in Spain, if the President lets them into the country. Also in silver plastic and identified as premium figures. Very interesting design to them. The orange is much nicer than the silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Lapointe Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 These (extra variant excluded ) are all the poses known, from my collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ervino Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 IMO it could be a bad extrusion example, maybe caused by the use of a wrong plastic material or the nearing of the "end of life" for the moulds... Â The piece face is somewhat distorted too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Lapointe Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 An example not, because there are more existing, different plastic shrinking may be, but wouldn't explain the diffent wrinkles. That sphere looks detailed, has a line with indents around, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

space.trucks Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Landed three of the "Camy" figures and two Comansi OVNI's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Lapointe Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 First series had either comansi stamped on base or nothing, the Ovni series was made in late 60s after the broadcasting of the Invaders. 2000 is the series, following numbers the poses. These are the complete set of poses for both spacemen and aliens. In the third pic, the two civilians that you could find in the box 'Los Invasores' only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space.trucks Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Ah, I had thought the "OVNI" show was "UFO". Thank you for the correction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Lapointe Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Here one of the boxes, you can clearly see graphics have nothing in common with the Anderson's series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space.trucks Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Actually I can’t see the difference as I am unfamiliar with both series, do not speak Spanish or live in Europe, do not collect Gerry Anderson material, and have not engaged in research about either toy line or the companies who manufactured them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Lapointe Posted April 21, 2020 Author Share Posted April 21, 2020 Both series were broadcast in USA too, and the Invaders was american, anyway you can see from these pics the similarities (saucer and fonts) with the Invaders tv series Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ervino Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 And this is the Raumschiff Orion. What has it to do with the thread? Nothing, but I love the series... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
