The rules are simple. ONE ANSWER PER READER. I'll say it again in case , like me, you're still suffering from Christmas gluttony, ONE ANSWER PER READER. So that means just leave ONE answer to ONE question in the comments. This allows for many readers to have a go. I'll keep you posted if you're right or not. As always, it's a mix of Sci-Fi, weird science and Toys with one or two SWORD questions thrown in too!
1. Which is the odd one out of the toys? Scramble Bug, Dyna Soar, Molab, Nuclear Ferry, Zero-X
2. Which god-like character does X-Men's Jean Grey evolve into?
3. Which horror comic used the phrase 'Horror Mood' as its marketing?
4. What was Arnie Schwarzenegger called in the film Predator?
5. Along with solids, liquids and gases, what is the fourth state of matter called?
6. What do the beginnings of the films Day of the Triffids and 28 Days Later have in common?
7. Which of these did Aurora Models NOT make? Godzilla, Dracula, Frankenstein, Gorgo, King Kong
8. What is the nearest star to our own?
9. Which of these toys is the odd one out and why? Hot Wheels, Corgi Rockets, Hot Birds, Whizzwheels, Sizzlers
10. What unusual feature would you find in the back of the Corgi Lincoln Continental die-cast toy car?
Go for it! Remember, answer JUST ONE question!
I'll go with the easy one,#7.Answer is Gorgo.One can hope that Moebius will come through with that one as a new design.I'm ashamed to say I'm drawing a blank on the rest of the questions.but it was fun to try.Thanks,Woodsy and happy 2013 to you!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Swordie Year Folks!
ReplyDeleteI'll go for the easiest one:
4. What was Arnie Schwarzenegger called in the film Predator?
He was called "Dutch".
In answer to question 2: Jean Grey, also known in the comics as Marvel Girl, was transformed into Phoenix.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 5: Plasma
ReplyDeleteQuestion 10: A television.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 1: Molab is not included in the official SWORD toy range.
ReplyDeleteQuestion 8, Proxima Centauri.
ReplyDeleteArgh not a lot left...
ReplyDeleteNumber nine: Hot Birds as they're aircraft instead of cars. Or else Whizzwheels as they're really a component instead of an entire vehicle.

All answers correct folks! Well done! [it was HotBirds Paul but I hadn't thought of the other answer!]. Right, that just leaves two questions left, 3 and 6. Abandon the rule of One and go for it, a free for all!
ReplyDeleteQuestion 6: Both begin with the main character waking up in a hospital.
ReplyDeleteWell done Scoop! Correctomundo! Beware waking up in empty hospitals! That just leaves the 'horror mood' horror comic question. C'mon comic readers!
ReplyDeleteGor to try the obvious is it Eeue ?
ReplyDeleteSorry small screen, big fingers _ EERIE !
ReplyDeleteNope, soz Billster, not Euee or Eerie or Cruee or Creepy! Not as famous.
ReplyDeleteafter a google for number three I came upon the following Skywald titles: Nightmare, Psycho, Scream or just possibly a single issue of Heap?
ReplyDeleteBest -- Paul
You got it Paul. Good ol google! Yep, Skywald's horror mood reigned for five years from 70 to 75 in the brilliant Psycho and Nightmare, which I bought on Preston open market every Saturday! Ah, the horror mood!
