Wasn't the puppet for JOE 90's Sam Loover in another Anderson production?

Most of the puppets in the post-SCARLET puppet shows were recycled from SCARLET's large marionette cast. JOE 90's Sam Loover is best known as the Supreme Commander of Earth Forces in SCARLET; the puppet also appeared as the Lunar Controller in the SCARLET episode "Lunarville 7". Other SCARLET puppets turn up in various roles in later shows--among the more memorable are Colonel White in a dark wig in JOE 90, Captain Ochre and Dr. Fawn in various guest roles in JOE 90 and THE SECRET SERVICE, and Captain Scarlet himself in wire-rimmed glasses and a brown wig as regular character Agent Blake in THE SECRET SERVICE.

Marionette recycling also went on in the pre-SCARLET era; SUPERCAR's Mike Mercury shows up as a waiter in a Marineville nightclub in the STINGRAY episode "Deep Heat".
