2022 Advent comments

[JohnW]

Sorry – last question should have been in the comments thread. A bad case of the early morning stupids.
Did you actually make this? In which case – Yowza!
Or do you have the power to have this made? In which case – Respect!

That's really awesome stuff McFad!
Loving the box too - nice work with the badge for the logo.

I want 12 inchs of Gene!

That's what she said!

[Trooper McFad]

Thanks guys- I hadn't planned to "release" Gene until January but the Advent needed another date filled.
What inspired me to box him was the worst Christmas film that I watched for the first time a few weeks ago- Jingle all the way - and imagined mini Squaxx running around trying to find the latest and greatest Tooth figure. Much like what might happen to the Hiya range.

JWare it was a self build from a Hulk figure

Colin my wife has dibs on 12 inches of Gene 😂😂😂

Barrington yes I used a tooth badge to adorn the packaging and I got lucky finding the right size to fit Gene. If I had more time I would have painted the outside but happy with the results.

As said I'll unbox on the 26th and post more detailed pictures and comments.

Overall guys this has been brilliant to be part of and well done to all who have already submitted and those yet to come.
It always astounds me the hidden and not so hidden talent in various guises on this board

So those who missed out this year put your thinking caps on and get ready for next years Advent (I have 😁)

Now would everybody please stop raising the bar so effing high? Some of us still have submissions to make.

Wow I assumed it was one of those cleaver computer generated things, similar to what Mike Carroll used to share here.

If that exists I'm tracking down your address and breaking in to... Ahem I'm even more impressed!

If I'm ever forced to get rid of him by my wife then you'll get first refusal 👍🏻😁

 Wow! That's bleeding arsom, as they used to say round these parts.

[The Legendary Shark]

That's just magnificent.

[Rogue Judge]

Wow Trooper, that is incredible! Rebellion, hire Mr. McFad and get the Kickstarter going, we need that Gene toy in our  collections!

[Trooper McFad]

JWare what another great look back and insight to teenage boys influences.That Christmas I was a couple of weeks from my 15th birthday and my Xmas thrills would have been from the Annual. Like you the content wasn't classic but it kept me going through the holidays.

Always enjoy your look backs

[Colin YNWA]

Oh bonus. I thought it was Legendary Shark today but that was a wonderful entry. I do wonder if I can pick a fav Prog. I have ones that mean most to be... and in the new year I hope we can decide the best year, but best Prog... wow...

[JayzusB.Christ]

Thanks, JWare, your look-backs are always excellent and have the required effect of getting the old nostalgia circuits buzzing, just as they should be at this time of year.

A festive Catsblood toast all round.

That's me, Johnny Retro, the Boy from Behind the Times. Yesterday's Man bringing you yesterday's progs.
