    Thats the sort of thing.. I was wondering what Toys people remembered and wondered what happened to them.. Like Action Man turned into G.I. Joe and stuff like that!

    no he didn't, he was a rip off of Action Man, like the Sindy / Barbie thing

    Action Man is still around

    mmmm

    isn't that a cartoon and not a toy ?

    YoYo's anyone ??

    Marbles ??

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Mask was a toy, just like He-Man and Transformers and all the rest.

    What about those hoola-hoop things - big loop of plaggy that you span round your waist. Chuffin crap or what? I think they were late 70's innovations..... gee the summer hols must've flown by!

    And if those ****e scooters are back (ooo lets make them all silver and add a brake, the gullible - would-be car thief - would forget all about the 1.1 Fiesta Finesse at No.7 and try and kill old people in the shopping precinct instead). Errr where was I? Oh yeah if they're back (scooters) lets start a campaign for Space Hoppers. Flattening Mavis with a bounce of a mutant balloon would be far more fun than squashing her toes with an aluminium scooter.
