Cannot remember.... [laugh]

 

But do vaguely remember a Bionic Man...

 

Centurion I can still remember though. Quite big sized 'robocop-like' figurines. Came in 2 or 3 colours. Blue, green & ??? Remember coz me and my bro each had one colour.

 

I still have one eagle from Mask! Somehow kept it thru the years. It came on the arm of one of the figurine toys.

Dun forget the 4x4 tamiya...

 

1) can lower the tire profile by sanding the sponge

2) can upgrade motor

3) standard differential 4wd

4) can put stabilizer, machiam like our anti roll bar

5) can put plastic body, machiam like our CF bonnet

 

LOL

Still have leh....

 

I just saw many boxes at Kiddy Palace. Was looking at their acrylic paints then spotted all the old but wrapped in plastic boxes of the old school tamiyas on a bottom shelf. Even had some kooky stuff like "Walking Dinosaur", also a build-urself toy with motor.

 

I think now Tamiya of this generation is bigger, more advanced and also more ex. They call RC right, and it costs hundreds to build one car.

Quoted from He-man: "By the power of grey skull, I have the power!"

 

I remembered GI Joe, Thunder Cats among others. Let's not forget Smurf, oh that lovely Smurfette.... [inlove]
