Title: Favourate Childhood T.V. or Toys.
Post by: Shush on July 03, 2015, 09:07:15 PM: Having heard a few of us mention some classic cartoons recently, and knowing us NMA crowd are a sentimental lot, thought I would throw this in the hat.

May I start with a doubler - The Six Million Dollar Man. Loved watching that in the 70's. For my main Xmas present on year I got the S.M.D.M. action figure. Same size as an Action Man. He had a red boiler suit. Roll up his sleeves he had mechanical looking panels that you could lift out of his arms. Remember falling a sleep that night looking at it on my bed side table feeling glad I had it. :)

I was basically forced to watch tv so that i would shut up and not be in the way.

Used to spend hours making him look cool in a weird mish mash of uniforms - not to mention the time lost making camps for him. My god I used to take in the whole garden and the woods behind the house.........

Guess the signs were always there if you cared to look ;D ;D ;D ;D
