Rollerball Action Figure

Great handmade one-off found by Dave Skooter Farm at Man is at the window blog.

On a kind of related subject, to quash any confusion, Rollerburn tickets are in the form of wristbands, not normal tickets. If you've ordered and haven't received yours yet, email us. Thanks. G

    Is it weird to sometimes really miss your Action Men? Poor old Bobby, resigned to a desk job after a nasty leg break sustained in a botched Red Devils parachute jump from my bedroom window, later kidnapped and burned to death in a barn. Then Johnny, who, ahem, burned to death in his armoured car round the back of the shed. Yes, there is a theme.

    With regard to vintage ACTION MAN (G.I. JOE in the US) I have a collection of approx 100... picked up at car boot sales in the late 80's...ranging from 'Painted heads' 'Fuzzy heads' and a few 'Eagle eyes'.
    Remember, "Old soldiers never die...your mum just throws them away..."

    Let me assure you Dave, mine died. Bobby brunette fuzzy-head hard-hands and Johnny blonde fuzzy-head gripping hands. Yeah, gripping hands let you down, eh Johnny? They were the first to melt.

    The speed they flash across this keyboard you mean? Too bloody right. Of course, for my furious wanking I always use adequate lubrication.

    When the EVEL KNIEVEL toy craze hit in '76-ish, we used to nick the figures out of the boxes and come up with more and more interesting ways to destroy them.
    Starting with simple methods such as throwing them under buses, off multi-stories Etc. but then quickly moving on to sellotaping them to big fireworks and rockets.
    My mate took it to another level however, when he fried one in a pan on the stove...like an egg!

    Yeah, like the disastrous Santa Fe Giant Skillet leap on the 'fish slice' XR. Almost poached to death.
