The Loves Of My Youth...

Even the most cynical of us have our childhood weaknesses... my first one is The Wuzzles



As a small child these were my favourite Disney characters... Disney was my first obsession... followed quickly by Monsters In My Pocket. I am still proud to admit I once owned the entire collections of series 1, series 2 and series 3. This was in no small part due to my Mum's brilliant idea of opening all the boxes they had in Gamleys Maidstone and swapping them around so that each pack I bought contained no duplicates (we could barely afford ends meat at the time so you really can't blame her!). My Mum was my hero from that day forward.

This obsession soon fell to my comic obsession (my Issue 1 of 2000AD is one of my most treasured possessions). This lead to an X Men obsession...



Followed by my secret love of the 2099 Universe...



I have an obsessive personality, and many other shows tickled my fancy...

Transformers was awesome, but my true love were the Dinobots (like most sane and reasonable people ;op Dinosaurs were [and still are] an interest).



He-Man. What can I say? Even as a 4 year old I found this guy attractive!



And then there was Inspector Gadget, M.A.S.K. and Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors

What were your youthful obsessions?

    I had the Bumblebee-Lion Wuzzle stuffed toy as a kid. I should check and see if it's still kicking around at my parents house.

    I loved watching the Transformers, G.I. Joe, He-man, Spiderman, and X-men. I never collected the comics, but I love the characters in the X-men. Also loved this cartoon that use to be television called Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle.

    You just brouhght back some fond memories for me. I loved X-Men and Transformers, which lead to my strange interest in battletech .. I remember how much I obsessed over the first version of that game .. :sigh:
    Of course, this then lead to my sci-fi interest .. now to check my mailbox for my B5 DVDs ... :dodgy eyes:
