I used to have a friend who had all the best toys, things like Battle Cat and Castle Grayskull from He-Man, Megatron and Optimus Prime from Transformers, the Lego Space Monorail.

did I ever tell the story how I saw "NON" aka Boyd Rice play live in the Hacienda?

I've never seen a dance floor clear so fast, people were running, screaming, hands over ears

The main one I remember having as a kid was Modo from Biker Mice from Mars in pink and blue camo. I think it was a birthday present because my dad hid it in the fridge in its box. He did that sort of thing for Easter too. He'd hide things all over the house and garden then give you a list of clues or a map he'd drawn.

my parents bought me enough ACTION MAN junk to entitle me to the 7 inch single which I still own

ACTION MAN IS HERE!

1727498760670.png

the A side is junk, "THE OFFICIAL ACTION MAN MARCH", corny tune

Action Man is here,
Action Man is here.
On land, at sea and in the air
In action everywhere.
Tough and fearless, he's a fighter.
No assignment ever troubles him.
On high ground he's there,
Or sweeping through the air,
On the high seas he's in action:
You'll find him anywhere.
Action Man's his name.
Where there's trouble set it right, that's his aim.
The universal fighter who
Will carry the flag of justice through.
Give him a rousing cheer,
He's Action Man,
Action Man is here.


but the B side " AUTHENTIC BATTLE SOUNDS" is PURE FYAH

Side 2: AUTHENTIC BATTLE SOUNDS

To make your Action Man games more realistic
Ambush! A patrol is surprised on a scouting mission and fierce hand-to-hand fighting flares up. Rifles, machine guns, and grenades shatter the silence. The patrol radios for artillery support and land-based batteries and naval armour put down a 30 second concentration with the big stuff. An air strike follows as low-level jets scream in firing rocket salvoes. Finally the tanks rumble in with guns blazing and infantry moves up behind, mopping up. Mission accomplished!

my brother had the ACTION MAN with the BEARD

there was one ACTION MAN with a slot in his back where you could insert tiny records and you could pull a string and he would bark out commands and orders even while in a bath

I did have one with "GRIPPING HANDS"

Despite him turning into a total plonker, Mode Of Infection, Rise and Pagan Muzak are great and I'd love to have seen one of his early gigs.

I had the talking Action Man with the pull cord too, though he was so technically advanced by 1980 you didn't need to insert discs. He'd say ENEMY TANKS APPROACHING, GIVE ME SOME COVER or WHAT'S THE PASSWORD? in a HK movie overdub voice.
