I actually had one of those little robot action figures now that I remember, damn that could be worth money, if I'd left it in the box, and still had it
. It must have been a pretty huge film back in the day, nowadays action figures don't move, cost 10 times as much, and Todd McFarlane becomes more and more powerful everytime a kid cries because he's not allowed to play with them.
People should get back to making parachutes for their action figures and throwing them out the window - or tie 2 together and lasso them around a telephone line. Or bury them in a sand pit, never to be seen again (for some reason). Todd McFarlane has snatched all the fun out of action figures, if you can call them that these days. Maybe it's more a case of adults buying toys for kids that they actually want themselves. I remember the original Action Man, he could swivel his eyes, had actual hair, and could dangle from anything and hold stuff with his rubber hands.
Damn I went right off topic there - sorry!, blame nostalgia.
Not that I still play with action figures of course.
Health, Ammo, and bacon and eggs!
