Only unliecenced items that are much later in origin, nothing that I know of actually from the period.

TV Comic and its annuals featured her, as did one or two of the Avengers annuals from the time (or soon after).

There were allegedly Tara dolls in the early 70s: http://deadduck.theavengers.tv/taradoll.htm
Last watched: "The Charmers"

Oh allways forget about the books, why I don't know as I have got them.
I aways tend to think of toys and games first.
Two Annuals in 1968 and 1969,
4 paperbacks in the USA, though the first 5 american paperbacks were reissued with both Emma and Tara on the cover.
Long running comic strip in TV comic from 1969 on.
TV comic Holiday specials in 1970, 1971, and 1973. (I think ) all had Steed and Tara stories. A couple of the annuals did as well I would need to check mine as can't remember which years, but you can check my site as well. www.murdersville.co.uk/museum Look under UK shows then Avengers.
Other than the unliecenced Tara doll I have seen unliecenced modern Tara King guns (In the style of Lone Star and sold as such). Also unliecenced models of the Lotus Europa being sold as Tara's.

If you want more details on the TV comics I can check my copies to give you years, dates and issue numbers.

Oh of course then I forgot the Linda Thorson single and EP, the picture sleeves on a couple of the European issues, did show Linda and Patrick in charater as Steed and Tara.

Then there was a Dutch comic as well which featured Tara.

Bravo magazine in German had short lived Avengers strip in about 1970 which I think featured Tara as well. I have got pint outs of this but don't know the dates.

My memory not quite as good as it should be.
