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

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.
