I think my Action Man was probably my fave toy overall.

They were the bizz. I had an Escape From Colditz set from them which came complete with plans of Colditz and a map of the local area.

They really went to town with details in those days.

Kerplunk and Duckaroo were faves of mine as was a game called Downfall.
I also had electronic battleships which was ace, lol
I was never into dollies or girlie toys when i was little - i prefered to play with cars and garages and I loved my transformers - faves were Optimus Prime and Bumblebee.

Modern toys im into is collecting action figures from computer games like final fantasy and sonic the hedgehog amongst others, lol
