Ok, 1970's British if you insist – but if you want to do UNIT on the cheap then look no further ! link |

I could use them as mercs for my African Imaginations but I have no idea what UNIT is. |

United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Who knew ?  Now….where can I get a 20mm Scorpion that looks more like the Action Man Scorpion than an actual Scorpion ? "Greyhound Leader out" |

UNIT stands for UNified Intelligence Taskforce, (formerly it stood for United Nations Intelligence Taskforce) Make sure your security clearance is up to date: unit.org.uk ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIT ) |

I think in those uniforms we're talking United Nations Intelligence Taskforce, rather than the somewhat dubious later UNIT. |

I started getting interested until my brain clicked into gear and registered "1/72".
Most Doctor Who miniatures [or proxies] are 28mm.
Anyone wanting suitable figures for 28mm classic UNIT could do worse than look at Gripping Beast's MoFo Falklands British range. |

Interesting! some of those poses look just the old 54mm Britains Commandos/Paras. -Kosta |

They are derived from the Brtitains Deetail figures : link |

So, it's an oxymoron then?
I'll get my hat and coat… |

It's a Dr. Who thing – UNIT were the troopers (and, often, red-shirt equivalents) of some of the classic Dr. Who episodes |
| SonofThor | 03 May 2013 7:43 a.m. PST |
Now all you need is the rest of the Doctor Who-verse in 1/72. |
| J Womack 94 | 03 May 2013 7:56 a.m. PST |
You need the Brigadier. I miss old Lethbridge-Stuart. |

+1 to Parzival. That having been said, I still love UNIT…. I mean those chaps KEPT firing bullets at alien monsters KNOWING that it wasn't going to do ANYTHING… Now THAT'S discipline. |

Do you mean these guys? link |
| BigNickR | 03 May 2013 10:22 p.m. PST |
I too was excited until I saw these weren't 28mm… |
| tkdguy | 04 May 2013 2:23 a.m. PST |
I have a few 25 mm UNIT soldiers, including the Brigadier and Sgt. Benton. These guys would make a great addition. |
| Gennorm | 04 May 2013 2:32 a.m. PST |
Just need some 1/72 Sontarans. |
