At least this solves the mystery about why the torture set was not released.

They where affraid we would torture the clickies for information like this, they could spill out all kinds of factory secrets.  ;)

When sorting Klickies it is worth remembering that some are not 'official' PM-issued figures. I have a box of unidentified Klickies which have legs from one Klicky, arms from another, maybe the torso from another and so on. I call these 'hybrids'. Since it is possible to take a Klicky apart and reassemble with other parts it is possible to improve on the leg/body/arm/head/jacket combinations which PM issue (this is 'customising'). If you get Klickies in ebay lots which you can't find in PlaymoDB, there is a good chance they have been customised by someone some time in the past. This explains female heads on male torsos (mind you PM issue a figure in set 7128 which is just this!), standard legs on 'fat' bodies, ladies with mustaches and so on. Sometimes figures seem to be a combination of whatever the seller could get hold of- often successful 'recombinants', sometimes rather weird or ugly!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Just trying to be helpful- it took me ages to realise I was searching in PlaymoDB for things which aren't there!
