P is for Prototypes?

If TJF and his chattering, ventriloquist's glove, monkey-puppet (see earlier post today) had done a bit of searching instead of picking the low-hanging fruit . . . so low they ended up with their faces in the dirt - they might have found these on a British patent application site;

Registered by Hing Fat in October 1995, and given the design number GB2051216 (now expired), this and the following three figures seem to have been the start of a planned sci-fi range of space warriors and robot/android figures, probably of a 3-to-4½-inch action figure type, but with no obvious points of articulation, they may well have been intended as smaller solids?

From the left; GB2051213, GB2051214 and GB2051215 (I think?), there's an obvious provision for separate weapons, and the possibility of a removable helmet on '15, I would imagine if they were going to be 54/60mm solids that the planned material would have been a PVC-type soft polymer? Has anyone ever seen these are a retail item/commercial prospect?

Both images are false-coloured by me from B&W originals.

I tried to find the original page (to give you the link) and couldn't! Google is really shit now, it's so commercially-oriented, it's almost impossible to find useful stuff, even if you know it was there years ago! But I did fond this page . . . with another figure from this 'set', but registered in 1994! I think the page is actually dead, as it takes ages to load?

Five minutes later and I found a few more, but I'll let you find them from the link! It looks like a set of Power Ranger knock-off's (added to the tag list!) registered in 1994, renewed in 1999 and struck out in 2007, and the set of space figures I'd already found from the following-year? The pages get faster once you've opened a few too!

Note the definite ring hands on what I now suspect were going to be 65/70mm vinyls?
