******* my thumb...

[palexander]

After throwing a complete hissy-fit at the full-time whistle, crawling into a ball, dribbling and screaming "WHY!? WHY!?" I realised it was probably a touch childish and wish to apologise to my wife, cats and tropical fish (and my neighbours).

Anyway, lets talk about old cartoons...

Ulyseyes
City Of Gold
Battle of the Planets
Jase and the Wheeled Warriors
M.A.S.K
Pole Position

Ahhh, all better now...

I had the toys of Battle of the Planets. About 6 spaceships that clicked together to make one big mutha. The front ship (the point) had a rubber nose...

Ahhhh... cant go back

no, must've had a job by then!

 

[palexander]

Yea, had those too! They were great action figures because they had proper joints - elbows and knees, made them my action figure of choice above the star wars figures who were in late stages of rigor!

I never really got into Star Wars figures, had loads of He-man, a few GI joes

Oh and some Thundercats, Snarf.....

 

[Leeboy]

I had absolute shed-loads of Star Wars figures, vehicles, monsters etc.I even used to keep the packaging as, if you collected a certain amount of tokens from them, you could send off for Exclusive figures not available in the shops.

My old dear threw out my star wars collection several years ago...

My favourite back then was Yoda, then Bob Fortuna. Not forgetting the Millennium Falcon and Vader carry case.

 

[Leeboy]

oh, and Action Man!

Had shed-loads of that as well

Talking Commander

Space Ranger

( all with Eagle Eyes, natch )

Bib, actually

Was never really into figurines - don't know why. Had an Eagle-eyes Action Man, which was cool - and a jeep, motorbike & sidecar and Harrier jump-jet to go with it!

More into Dinky-toys / Die-cast cars; and then got a Tamiya Radio Controlled Car aged c. 10-11 (in about 1984/5) and never looked back.

Also a massive fan of my Avagojo - did anyone else have one of those?

This is definitely cheering me up!

Fair enough - I'd rather have discovered drinking and girls than been playing with MASK figures

Neither... I had a Subaru Brat (appropriate, really!):

Secretly fancied a "Wild Willy" (ooer, missus) - the jeep with the huge bumpers and that was, in effect, self-righting if you rolled it. But my Subaru was cool, silver with two-tone blue stripes. My Dad & I made it together, and we got an extra big battery for it. And boy, did it shift!!

a mate at school had the Audi Quattro, when they were cool and winning all the World Rally's during the '80s.
