Hammer are responsible for making the inexplicably successful 'On the Buses' films, however some may consider these to be simply too horrific! [/QUOTE]
Maybe there is a Reg Varney cut auto in the future .

On Facebook, Unstoppable refers to this release as "Hammer Horror Series 1" even though, as was pointed out, the word Horror does not appear on the box itself.
Not to be confused with the British Horror set that they did in 2017.

Since we're talking about Space 1999 you may get a kick of this autograph display I've put together using Unstoppable cards as well as a bunch of authentic custom signature cards.

Hi catskilleagle, thank you. The larger images/custom cards are made from original signatures cut from books, postcards, index cards etc. that I collected over the years composited with a small pic from a particular episode. Since some of the guest stars featured in these cards were not available due to some passing on or just did not sign for these Unstoppables releases, I decided to make my own. I had these signatures in my collection for many years and finally found a way to utilize them.
The art in the center of the top auto display is from a dvd documentary cover and the art in the bottom auto display is from a starlog cover. Printed them out on my photo printer and attached everything to the custom mats with transparent photo corners.
The moonbase Alpha kit is a re-release of the 70s kit made by MPC around 2014. There was some retooling of the parts especially the landing pads of which now there are five as opposed to the original kit which had three. They also included realistic decals. MPC also scaled down the eagles which I did not include with the diorama you see in the pic. The base is also larger than the original. This is 18"x18" It's the first model that my brother and I have built in the last 30 years. I'm not a professional model builder so I don't have an air brush,so I hand painted the moon surface with just a few brushes and a small sponge and acrylic paints from Michael's.This message has been edited.

That's cool. I had that model kit back around '79. My brothers and I played with the Eagles. I never did anything fancy with my models (Enterprise, Klingon Warship, P-61, LST, etc.). I just built them and played with them.

They are both small 18 card base sets and one autograph with a chance ( 1:7 for Avengers and 1:5 for Hammer ) at a second autograph or cut autograph . The Avengers set covers the episode " Killer " with a Michael McStay autograph and the Hammer set covers the film " Countess Dracula " with a Nike Arrighi autograph .
The Avengers is a 250 box release , price I have seen is £19.99 and the Hammer is a 200 box release , price I have seen £24.99 .
I believe they are releasing a box every two months that builds into an overall set .
