I've been curious about this since I was a sprog, but which came first, the toy or the comic version:

The toy.

Actually, I think it was a case of the toy being marketed via 2000ad, so maybe it was more of a joint effort?

Toy.
I read about this on some sites discussing Matchbox toys, sorry can't remember the links!

Sorry I didn't spot this earlier. Here is a previous thread about it, including a mini interview with Pat Mills.

Cheers Wake: been curious about that since I was knee high to a grasshopper.
