He-Man: A Tribute

[Guest LFD]

I collected these things like Muscle Men, around the same time, but they were all different colours.

 

Fuck knows what they were called though.

[Strontium]

Muscle men came out in different colours later on.

Monster in My Pocket?

[General Dryness]

Buzz-Off

 

 

Spikor.

 

 

Webstor.

 

 

Fisto.

 

 

Clawful.

 

Had all of those, and even given my tender years I thought "Fucking hell, thats not a very imaginative name for a bloke with a massive fist, is it?". 

 

Also had what I saw as the evil version of Fisto, an asian looking geezer called Jitsu. He had a big gold hand, but they had the good grace not to call him Hando.

Shout.  

 

Yes that was them.

 

I had loads of them.

Loved those as a kid. One of the best childhood memories I had was getting a plastic display tower for those which looked like a load of caves. On the run up to Christmas one year I was jumping up and down on my parents bed and could see it behind the headboard every time I landed on the mattress. I ruined it all by eventually swapping that multi headed green monster for a less impressive Cyclops with a friend of mine. Their scores weren't even comparable.

I bought a load of old Monster in My Pocket toys from eBay the other year. I was gutted when they arrived, as the plastic had begun to deteriorate and the various colours had bled into one and other. The horrible little cunts were sticky to the touch and as I hate anything like that (I can't touch a loaf of bread if it has started to go mouldy, etc.) , I had to bin them.

Of course, being from the Isle of Man, that could also be a visual representation of LFDs family tree.

My favourite Monster in My Pocket toy was the one they modelled on yer ma.

Is it sad that I know the guy who took that photo?

 

EDIT: and also the guy who took this one

 

[Strontium]

That second guy we had to ban from the toy forum for being an absolute weirdo.

 

If you check out his Flickr, don't do it at work. His hobbies, other than consuming copious quantities of peyote, are taking pics of women posing with Monster in My Pocket figures in various states of undress.

Yer ma thought she had a monster in her pocket, but it turned out to be you trying to pinch tagnuts off her arse.

Toy forum?

[Strontium]

Toy forum?

 

Yes, a forum for collecting toys, mainly small figures.

 

As odd as it seems, f**tb*ll is only one of numerous interests I have.

Yes. Yes it does.

I was asking for information about the toy forum.

 

I'd appreciate a link, please.

Do they get many Trolls on there?

[TheHowieLama]

Are the trolls the same size as the regular toys or are they proportionate? You know like half the size of a normal toy fella. Also do you pay the same amount for a midget sized toy?

[PestiRed]

I only had an action man and a Luke Skywalker figure. When I was about 8 my dad asked me why I was playing with dolls and that pretty much put an end to any type of figurines etc in our house

[Dave D]

Managed to convince the Mrs that our 3 yr and 5yr old daughter would love watching this:

 

Its great- got Hordak, Skeletor, the lot.

 

And, in the true sense of Christmas, Skeletor actually helps He-man against Hordak etc.

 

Brought a tear to my eye  

  

 

[Guest LFD]

Grumpy Skeletor on Twitter is worth a follow.

Haha, your dad knew his onions. Dolls are for girls. I had a ZX81 and never looked back*. I'm a child of the technological revolution.

 

 

 

 

 

* I may have had some star wars figures but none of this pocket monster (fnar) or He-Man nonsense.
