Havoc

Havoc was produced by Model/Flair Toys Ltd during the 1970's. She is approximately 23 centimetres (9 inches) tall, with a red bob hairstyle. Her head is slightly over proportioned to her body and she has large green eyes and red lips, which give her an expression similar to the Japanese 'animae' or 'manga' look. The same face mould was used to produce the Mary Quant Daisy doll and the dolls are roughly the same size, however Havoc is fully poseable. Her torso and arms are made from a hard plastic, her legs are bendable and rubbery while her head is a hard vinyl. She is jointed at the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, waist, hips, knees and ankles. Her hands are moulded in a position that allows Havoc to hold many of her accessories.

Identification:

Havoc has no markings on her head. Her body is marked just below the waist joint with; ©, MODEL TOYS LTD, HONG KONG. Her original outfit consists of a Navy nylon jumpsuit with silver trim and black boots.

Accessories:

All of Havoc's outfits have an action theme. Some pieces of clothing carry a paper tag reading MADE IN HONG KONG. The clothes are of high quality and are well detailed. Some have working zips and some carry Havoc's logo - a gun sight. Her outfits include a ski set, scuba gear, jungle fatigues, martial arts garb, motor cycle gear, a trench coat and more! By far the best parts of all of Havoc's

outfits are the accessories. Havoc has an arsenal of well-detailed pistols, rifles and assault weapons, knives and machetes, and even a bow and quiver full of arrows. Her ski gear includes a snow pick and grappling hook, the scuba gear comes with a spear gun, inflatable raft and a large green rubber octopus, while her jungle fatigues include a green rubber snake. And what action hero would be without her bulletproof vest? Some outfits came with secret files, passports and newspaper reports of Havoc's adventures. In some sets an Identity Card is included for a child to complete. There is even provision for a photo and thumbprint on the card. The outfits also came with a comic book story appropriate to the outfit printed on the back of the box. Accessory packs were available for Havoc. One of these contained a sleeping bag, inflatable bed, rifle and rubber snake. Another was a parachute (which really works), helmet, knife and machine gun. Havoc also had a motorcycle, however I have never been able to find this item. I'm not sure if it was available in Australia, but if it was it was hard to find.

Restoration:

Warning: the hard plastic accessories will 'melt' if they are in contact with the softer plastic or rubber accessories for extended periods of time.

Reference:

I know of no reference material on Havoc at the moment, however I believe a soon to be released book will carry a section on Havoc. Stay tuned for details.
