My auntie got me it and the see through novelty factor held my interest for a week I think. But it was a strange sort of inbetween size as I recall, too big to join in with Little big man and too small to campaign with my band of Action men(G I Joe to our american chums) I think it met a quite ignominious end at the hands of my kid brother in some form of childhood autopsy!lol<br /><br />Brilliant just to see the little guy again though.ranger67https://www.blogger.com/profile/09938261240849085958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-29875764745955927192010-05-19T14:12:28.185-04:002010-05-19T14:12:28.185-04:00I think you're right Rob.

Whether it be a movie, TV show or comic book. The 70's didn't require this, but the 80's sure did.John IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15132698775961146036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26874882.post-40333725698363179592010-05-18T23:27:21.195-04:002010-05-18T23:27:21.195-04:00This post makes me think about something--Brian, d...This post makes me think about something--Brian, do you think a toy/action figure could even make it nowadays unless its a movie/cartoon tie-in?<br /><br />All these posts you have of these 70s toys that are "just" robots or aliens or monsters makes me realize you just don't see stuff like this anymore--its all IronMan, Toy Story, Ben10, etc.<br /><br />I'm not criticizing, per se, its just something that occurred to me about how toy aisles have changed over the decades.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.com
