The following 3 cards were produced by Carl Gresham Promotions during the 1970’s, and were handed out to fans that came to see Peter open various shops, boutiques and supermarkets.

A card produced for one of Peter’s promotional visits to (West) Germany in the 1970’s.

PETER WYNGARDE: MEMORIALISED IN PLASTIC

General Klytus action figures by Biff Bang Pow!

The ‘Flash Gordon’ line made its debut in 2007 with the red carded Series 1. It featured two versions of Flash, and two versions of Ming the Merciless. The differences between the two Flash figures were subtle enough that they are easily missed by casual glances. The first version of Flash featured a black and red vest with a sword accessory. The second featured a red tank top with a blaster. The difference between the Ming figures is rather obvious with one featuring a red robe, and the other a black.

These days the figures are incredibly difficult to come by. Oddly enough when they are found, they aren’t all that costly. A Flash figure autographed by Sam J. Jones recently sold for just £20.00 (around $26.00).

Although the Series 2 figures a far more commonly found than Series 1, they are still not in abundance. Oddly enough the SDCC versions, which were Entertainment Earth exclusives, seem to be the easiest to obtain. The Series 2 wave featured four new characters, General Klytus, Prince Barin, Dale Arden and another figure of Flash – this time in his white T-shirt from the first 1/4 or so of the film.

As mentioned above, this particular series featured a few SDCC exclusives. Interestingly enough, while series two initially was released in 2008, it wasn’t until 2010 that the convention exclusives were produced.
Each exclusive was a slight alteration from their series two counterpart. For instance, Klytus featured no popped-out eyes from his death scene in the film.

Below, you’ll find more details of the General Klytus figures, plus information about the Klytus model from Funko, Jason Wyngarde from Hasbro and the soon-to-be-released Wandering Planet Number 2 figure from ‘The Prisoner’.

GENERAL KLYTUS BY BIFF BANG POW!

Name: General Klytus
Series: Flash Gordon
Subseries: Series 2
Manufacturer: Biff! Bang! Pow!
Year of Release: 2007
Height: 7 inches

The front of the package remains largely the same with the new yellow Series 2 deco. It has a picture of Klytus on the front from the film looking suitably menacing.

The back of the package seems to give with one hand and take with the other. While it shows off every figure in the series, as well as some of the famous ‘Flash Gordon’ film poster art, there are no images of Klytus himself, who had several memorable scenes.

As far as articulation goes – unlike the other models in this series, the Klytus figure has only three articulation points, those being his ‘robotic’ (right) arm which moves at the shoulder and bends at the elbow. which makes him posable, and at the hip so his legs can be moved. His left arm has no hinge, nor does his knees.

The actual sculpt is very good. Bif Bang Pow really managed to capture the likeness of so many of the characters. Every figure really looked the part and Klytus doesn’t buck that trend.

Much like Emperor Ming, Klytus has glitter sprinkles on his clothing to replicate the jewels in his robe which gives off a red and blue glint. It’s used in much less quantity on Klytus than the Ming figure, which makes sense and helps to make him look really sharp.

Klytus, admittedly, isn’t the most exciting looking character in terms of design, but it’s his simple look that makes him stand out. He has a Doctor Doom/Druid/Sorcerer look to him and that’s a classic motif. Bif Bang Pow have done am excellent job here. He’s basic but well done. That’s really perhaps the mantra for the entire line.

Alas, there are no accessories with the Klytus figure. I’m pretty sure that the original proto pictures for this model showed Klytus with some sort of spiked Mongo tool or weapon, but the end figure comes with nothing. Maybe this was a cost cutting measure(?). As always, at the price point something else would be nice but it’s understandable given that Bif Bang Pow is a small company.

Value is always subjective, but Klytus has the most versatility of any of the figures in the line thus far. He is a great looking figure. In addition, most people who are minor Gordon fans will at least want the big three – Flash, Ming and Klytus.

BIFF BANG POW! KLYTUS DEAD VARIANT

Name: General Klytus
Series: Flash Gordon
Subseries: Series 2
Manufacturer: Biff! Bang! Pow!
Year of Release: 2008
Height: 7 inches

This exclusive Flash Gordon Klytus ‘Dead’ Variant action figure is a must-have for collectors. It was released in 2009 as part of the Series 2 line by Bif Bang Pow. This is an Entertainment Earth exclusive with only 1,200 pieces manufactured and sold at San Diego Comic Con in that year. The figure stands 7 inches tall and is made of high-quality plastic.

With the exception of the protruding eyes, the packaging, sculpting, articulation and accessories are identical to the previous figure.

All That Glisters

PETER WYNGARDE – THE INSPIRATION FOR THE HELLFIRE CLUB

Marvel Comics not only created groups formed by heroes from around the world to protect the world from all evil, it also invented different organizations and groups of villains that are responsible for seeking evil in order to satisfy their needs, no matter what they have to do to achieve it, and one of the oldest groups that have existed in comic strips is the Hellfire Club.

All those Marvel fans will be aware that group of mutant villains first appeared in Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1 No.129, introduced by Chris Claremont and John Byrne in 1980, but, if we tell them that this was not the first Hellfire Club that existed in history, what would they think?

Above: Peter in one of his most iconic roles as Sir John Cleverly Cartney in the Avengers episode, ‘Epic’

No, Marvel Comics did not commit any plagiarism or anything like that, what it did was take as inspiration the Hellfire Club that the 1960s, in the television series Avengers, showed for the first time, to be specific in 1966 in the episode A Touch of Brimstone, where Peter Wyngarde himself had a great participation as the Honorable John Cleverly Cartney within this underground club.

When this series was broadcast, Chris Claremont and John Byrne were teenagers who could quietly enjoy this, probably not even in their minds that one day they could work for Marvel Comics, but they did and that chapter in the Avengers series was so engraved in them that they decided to capture it in the pages of the most famous mutants in the world or, probably, it was only the stunning silhouette of Diana Rigg with that big corset that prompted them to do it, we don’t know.

Once they started working with Marvel Comics they couldn’t miss the opportunity to have their own Hellfire Club, so they did, and these were the first images we had about the underground club of villains.

But Peter’s inspiration for the Hellfire Club did not end there, in 1969 the actor was hired to get his own series, with the obvious leading role, called Department S, since the role he played in the Avengers series, where he was always a guest actor, was so good that he was given the privilege of playing Jason King.

Precisely the image and name of Jason King served as inspiration for Mastermind in the Hellfire Club, since, visually, the character is identical to Wyngarde in the series Department S, while the name of this in the comic was the combination of Jason King and Peter Wyngarde, that is, Jason Wyngarde.
