I also collected Action Man stuff. One of my relatives passed on a "visible man" to me which was a teaching aid for the human body. My brother had Montini which was a cheaper version of lego. We could only afford the cheapo version of action man , think it was called Johnny commando or something ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same for me with Lassie and Champion the Wonder Horse. The barking and whinnying got on my mother's nerves. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David sheridan 159 Posted January 24, 2023 Report Share Posted January 24, 2023  @katyjay I used to love champion the wonder horse and remember the song , inspired me to go and work in the horseracing stables when I left school in 1974 , another programme that got on my dads wick was Skippy the kangaroo, I think it was all that, talking to the kangaroo business he found unbelievable, but I loved it, also the alsatian dog rin tin tin jumps to mind too that was another children's programme I loved!  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry David, I thought almost all of the stuff produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson in "supermarionation" was a bit naff as you could often see the strings and wires. One of the Thunderbirds, I can't remember which one, when launched seemed to just flop off the launch ramp. Not for me even as a kid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
