    2. You mean you can still see it? Damn. Let me take question 6 instead. Eddie was the name of the werewolf in the Munsters(clever,geddit?). If I was Eddie I'd like to get my claws into the lovely Dee Wallace who played Karen in (the) HOWLING.

    3. Yep, well done Steve, the Howling it is. Eddie Quist's finest hour. I adored the drawings "he" did in his bedroom. They were class. As regards seeing deleted comments, no, blog readers can't see them. They are deleted. But as I,m the blog administrator I get all comments emailed to me so that,s how I saw it. Cheers.

I loved my Action Man version as a kid and got him to slide down the sloped drive we had after it had snowed. happy days.
