My Dad came around too eventually. Guess what the 25th Hyena's number is? 001 ;) Yup, Stormies General Lee. I still have my old Die cast Ertyl General Lee in my top draw at home. Its been banged up pretty good. Should repair it.

I think once I've got a bit further with the AF stuff I'll work over to Buck Rogers too. Can't be helped. Just don't tell the wife ;) Maybe TDOH too. I want a Daisy and Wilma Dearing action figures.... Look out Quarrel.

:chopper:

Ooo Chopper! This is a very slippery slope! I hope it doesn't put you off that the Daisy figure is very, very ugly! Two variants - short hair and long hair. Or, as they have become known around these parts "face like a smacked arse Daisy", and "face not as much like a smacked arse Daisy". Still both very ugly.

Wilma figure is a lot better. Shame both of mine aren't loose (in both senses of the word!) - Stormie could've had a roaring old time! Although I think I may have a loose Daisy tucked away somewhere if memory serves me correctly.

As for Stormie's General Lee, that gives me so many ideas! My other big collection is 1/18th scale cars, including loads of variant General Lees and Bandits Trans Am (signed by the Bandit himself no less!). They are all currently surrendering their cabinet space to the AF collection, but that doesn't stop Stormie finding one and having some fun - after all, Bo and Luke were a dab hand with the bow and arrow too, on account fo their Probation and all ....

The sculpting work of the female form was quite accurate then? :lol:

An orange Hyena - big 01 on the side - doors welded shut. We got ourselves a custom coming on. Although a big white Cadillac Eldorado with chauffer may go better?

I'm thinking a white Shadowtrak with bull horns on the front. Now, where can I find a white Shadowtrak base? Bugger me, I got one right here ;) Also need a towtruck.... that's going to be a bit harder...

I had my wife fooled that all the AF stuff was for my son, but she's on to me now, and every now and then asks me about my 'dollies'.
But like everyone else has said she'd rather something harmless like this than hard drugs and international terrorism (which are obviously the only alternatives to toy collecting).
