Yup, that's the one. Here it is. Sorry, I forget that some people aren't Who-nuts like me. I mistakenly assume that everyone knows the Whomobile... Smokin'

Technically, it's called "The Alien" in real life. It never had a name in the show. It was commissioned by Jon Pertwee for his personal use and it was put into two of the stories of his final season.

That it correct! The canopy wasn't finished so a windscreen was hastily installed.

One final roll of the dice on this particular set of yearboxes. Note the set number Big Grin



If there is a Robert Hack or Christina Aguilera fan out there interested in doing a trade for the Celebrity Sketch in this set, please let me know.

Sort of. I had hoped that the very last set would have had at least one really good sketch in it, e.g. Martineck, Aragon or Mangue. The Nik card is a better skeleton ink sketch than the one I already have. The Pegasus sketch is excellent as is the Pterodactyl (I developed a real liking for Chris Henderson's work on this set and will probably try to pick a couple more of his off eBay). The Perez piccie is not exactly great but does have the redeeming factor that it is the only sketch I have acquired that shows a scene from 'Three Worlds of Gulliver'

So was there ever a reason given why the Harryhausen set wasn't made? I must have missed it. Shake Head

I don't think the reason has been released by Strictly Ink. If I were to hazard a guess I would say licensing costs could have been prohibitively high. The rights to most of Ray Harryhausen's films are owned by Sony-Columbia and they demand large sums of money for any product licenses. I approached them myself a couple of years back in connection with a project I wanted to implement. Back then, they wouldn't even start talking for less than $20,000 up front Shake Head

Having said that, the fact that sketch cards were released makes you wonder what went on - unless the sketch cards weren't approved!!!!

I don't know about that. However, the small print on the back of the Yearset set number card includes this statement:

"The cards issue in this have been for in-house promotion only. No copyright infringement is intended and the individual cards are not sold as a licensed release, all copyright belongs with their respective licensees."

So they weren't 'officially' released just sold off in anonymous bundles in a sort of lottery Big Grin

Makes you wonder about the legal position when re-selling the cards on Ebay and the like.

The fact that the sketch cards have "the harryhausen collection" printed on them seems to run a very thin line on copyright
