Now THIS says X-mas!  Not FF but very cool!

MADBALLS!

These bouncy monstrosities were a craze which spawned comics, a cartoon, and endless knock-offs and imitations, some of which were pretty cool. There was also a figure line which had spring-loaded 'popping heads'. I can still smell the rubber!

Another toy that was after my time, but I can see that they were out-of-sight awesome. I judge toys by whether I would have liked them as a kid, and Madballs passes my test with flying colours!

I only wish I could have had some of the toys that are 'before  my time' as a kid!

If you dig Wrightson werewolves the cover for Weird Mystery Tales #21 might put you in the holiday spirit. It always looked Christmassy to me, but then I'm a Wrightson freak (and a werewolf freak come to think of it!  )



Don't go Christmas tree hunting in werewolf country!

Those mags are wild cool!
