Gladiators Horby Toy - Jet - Original Boxed Figure Circa 1992
£36.99
When it’s gone, it’s gone.
On your marks. Get set. Go. And here she is - Jet, in the box, exactly as she was when she first hit the shelves in 1992.
This is an original Horby Gladiators action figure of Jet - Diane Sherwood-Edwards - one of the most beloved and genuinely exceptional athletes ever to appear on British television. The figure is unopened and mint in the original box, a genuine piece of nineties television and toy history that has survived over thirty years in remarkable condition.
Jet was not just the flexible one. She was a professional dancer, a stuntwoman, a martial artist, and one of the most technically complete Gladiators the show ever produced. She went on to retrain as a psychotherapist after leaving the show - a career that demanded the same quiet discipline and determination she brought to every event in the arena. The Horby figure captures her mid-action, a fitting tribute to an athlete who was always in motion.
Whether you grew up watching Gladiators on a Saturday evening or you are a serious collector of nineties British pop culture, this is a rare find. Original boxed Gladiators figures in this condition are increasingly hard to come by, and a Jet figure in particular carries the kind of nostalgic weight that makes it genuinely special.
