YOWZA! PART TWO Of ACTION FIGURE BONANZA...


Yes, I know we saw STEED in the last batch, but I thought I'd show him again along with his sidekick, Mrs. EMMA PEEL.  I've just taken these photos in my hall, and the flash (I assume) has given the skin tones on some of them rather strange hues - perhaps I should've waited 'til daylight and taken them outside, but too late now 'cos here they are. 


Look at the size of JOE 90 in the above pic - he's surely the tallest 9 year-old schoolboy in the world (or the smallest, depending on how you look at it).  And cop a gander at the MEGO SUPERMAN below - isn't that DEAN MARTIN in fancy dress?  The middle figure is CAPTAIN ACTION as The LONE RANGER in case you were wondering.


And down below we have SUSAN STORM, The INVISIBLE GIRL - now that's what I call a woman!  (What's that?  Oh, yeah - I forgot for a moment.  What I meant is, now that's what I call a poseable figure.)  Unfortunately, her clothes are moulded on, but you can't have everything.


More action figures as soon as I find them, Criv-ite chums.  Don't forget to come back and check out some of my poseable treasures.  You know it makes sense.

MAKE THE WORLD GO AWAY...



Might've played this one before, but it's a belter.
The mighty JIM REEVES shows all those modern
pop stars how to sing - with feeling.  So pin back your
lug-'oles and prepare to be blissfully transported to
 another level of musical magnificence.

The OPTIMIST RETURNS...



Remember the biscuit tin I showed you several posts back?  Something I didn't realise until only recently is that there was another tin featuring the same boy and his dog.  This has no nostalgic associations for me, but I may, eventually, decide to get one - just for the sake of completion.  I wonder if there were any other tins with this pair on them - any readers know?  Perhaps it's my imagination, but I think the lad looks a little bit like I did around that age, though I'd never be caught dead wearing that outfit of his.  It may look all right on Oor WULLIE, but there's something decidedly 'feminist' about it.  Anyone else collect biscuit tins?

Update:  Found another two on eBay, pictures below.  Haven't bought any of these three yet, but may do one day if I see them cheap enough - just to have the full set.
