They acquired a line of science fiction toys manufactured in Hong Kong, which they marketed under the name "Project SWORD". The line also included a model of Zero X, the spacecraft which first appeared in the film Thunderbirds are GO.
A comic strip series based on the toys appeared in the comic "Solo".
After Solo folded, a second series of stories - text, illustrated by comics artists such as Ron Embleton and Don Lawrence - appeared in TV 21. There was also an annual for "Project SWORD" featuring text and comic strips.
