When I was originally gathering my thoughts on the potential contents of this new thread, I made a firm decision to concentrate solely on the Kenner and Palitoy ranges of action figures, vehicles and playsets.
I mean, the sheer amount of merchandise in this country alone was enough to make me want to narrow the scope somewhat.
Well, look who's good intentions just went out the window...
Browsing online through a scan of a contemporary Kenner catalogue, I drew a sharp intake of breath when I saw this and instantly knew that I would have given anything to have had one of these, whether it was a working AM radio or not.
Presumably not available over here, if I'd known anything at all about this baby, I wouldn't have spent so much effort in pleading with my mother for a TARDIS Tuner.
But since I ultimately ended up with neither a Luke Skywalker AM Headset Radio (the name alone has an almost sexual kick to it) or a TARDIS Tuner, I could have saved my breath.
But hey, I hope I turned out kind of OK without either one...
