Actually Keith as I was typing it got me wondering why there isn't a Marc Bolan figure. I'm quite surprised there isn't one seeing as there's loads of RIP pop stars immortalised in...plastic. Maybe cos he's more of a cult figure in the States? Mind you, they've made Sid...
I've got a little "Jimmy Page" and "Jimi Hendrix" standing about in my pod and the likenesses are quite spooky. I'd quite like the Lemmy one too. The advances in moulding and design means they can make the faces look pretty much like the person. Some of the figures made for films and TV tie-ins are quite freaky like that too.

All I've got is a toy Captain Scarlet and Batman from years ago.
And one of the Angels that was free with breakfast cereal.
I did once dress an old Action Man up in a flying jacket and his frogman trousers and pretended it was Reward-era Julian, but I'm probably giving too much away now.

You lot are weird! Dolls at your age - tsk!
Still, glad to see the uniting power of plastic figurines...
*If they were to make some plastic pot head pixies and teapot taxies, that'd be different.

No, you get it for saying you don't like Joy Division
on the liking the Smiths & Kiss I always found the 8o's an amusing time, I wore a Metallica t-shirt at a Cocteau Twins concert once, it was great for getting served at the bar, the fey indie fops treated me like a member of an inferior caste and let me travel hither & thither in my own little cloud of stinking metalness, a foul being tainted with the corrupt stench of Rawk.
Good call on the Crue, they really are the fetid ground 6 inches below the barrel bottom, liked the book though

Not really. I passed them onto my kids. I think there's an arm left now!
And what I wear in my own time is my own business! ; )

Ha! A similar thing happened to me in the 80s. I went to a Smiths night in a club in Liverpool with my then lady friend and wore a Led Zeppelin T-Shirt. Some of the looks I got from the Mozzalikes - I may as well have had a dead seal cub draped round my neck.
One of the few things I like about Motley Poo is Mick Mars does achieve a pleasingly dirty guitar tone sometimes. And I do like the way, whilst the other three at least looked convincingly glam trash, Mick Mars looked more like Gollum had gone undercover in a Sunset Strip drag club.

I'm not fussed about KISS one way or the other but I enjoyed that.
