Wishful Thinking..

Post by Thundershot »

Hi all,
O.K. so I know lots of film & t.v. charcters have been produced as action figures over the years, but some of my all time fave's have never been imortalized in plastic...for instance,growing up, I'd loved to of had a Johnny 5 from Short Circuit..

& Why Oh Why didn't we get a Mego style version of this pair of crime fighters from C.I.5 from Palitoy?



Or did this guy ever get an action figure??



Must figures don't wear socks..so he's got a head start...

Does any one else have a "wish list" of well known, or obscure characters from Film or T.V land they'd love to have in there collection?

we made a "Jonny5" at work from old exhaust sections, alternator belts and a steel wheel. Stands about five feet tall. Not an exact replica but close enough to the original idea for people to link the two

You settled for a brown star destroyer in the end then, is that right?

Metal Mickey (with his plastic dickey) was a staple in my household when I were a wee lad. Loved that show.

I also wanted a scale Star Destroyer, Ironblood. Imagine the size of it. There was a custom Star Destroyer, made from ply, I saw a few years back but I lost the URL. Man it was big.
