Today's date?

16 Sept


Forum Name?

Porky


Real name?

Dr. Petros Porkenstein the Third


Location?

Brittania


Do you still own your favourite figure from when you were a kid?

no


Are you still in contact with childhood Vam/mam or 1/6 buddies?

Unfortunately not, I don't know anyone from my childhood now  Crying or Very sad


Do you recall what was your first Vam/mam or 1/6 vehicle?

it was one of the early blow moulded open top armoured cars


Best vehicle in your motorpool now?

a very battered Jeep ( it's the only driveable vehicle  Smile   )

Best figure in your collection (vam/mam or 1/6)?

So hard to say, Ginger was the first of this "adult era's" AMs.. but Ed is also crucial.. Sid is a great character and a proper "geezer"... and  Miss V. is just very cool.. a long way of saying "don't know! "

Did you ever get your most desired action figure item, either as a kid or as an adult collector?

not that I can think of


Are there any items you regret adding to your collection?

anything I find useless or the unwanted crap that comes in job lots gets ebayed !


Has your collection grown since you came back to the hobby?

of course


How many figures make up your HQ?

5 complete functional people, and at least 5 carcasses in bits needing surgery / assembly.. then there's various Borgs and Cybermen etc, but they're enemies so not HQ staff


What does your spouse/partner/significant other or family think of your collection/hobby?

nothing really


Why do you think adult collectors have a connection to vam/mam or 1/6 figures?

I guess they have more dosh than when they were kids on pocket money


What do you enjoy about the action figure hobby?

it's a fun way to tell "stories"


What is your favourite kitbash (custom figure) by another forum member or online collector?

There's a guy who did painted head versions of EE heads, plus some Star trek bashes from VAMs, plus other stuff, very clever bloke indeed but can't recall his name


Have your collecting interests changed since you first started collecting?

I guess you gravitate to particular genres or areas of interest once you get going


Do you have a favourite section of the AMMO forum?

Things like the Alien Challenge and the like are good fun


Why do you like AMMO?

It's fairly friendly with interesting content


Are you active on any other online hobby forums you'd care to mention?

I joined the AM HQ forum but there's virtually no posting on there unfortunately, I occasionally look in to Britmodeller, some very skilled work done there.

cheers Yes! I agree completely. The real reason adult collectors... well, the real reason that I, personally, am interested in "toy army men" is that I never grew out of my childhood interest, and now I have the means to do it, if not "right" (compared to others with seemingly unlimited budgets), at least a lot better than I could when I was a kid. I'm retroactively spoiling my inner child!

Good glimpse behind the curtain of mystery, Dr. P. P. III!

Brownboots was the chap!.. forum pic VAM with Rickenbacker guitar.. Thanks for the reminder, it was bugging me not being able to remember their name ! cheers
Be interesting if some more folks did these interviews.. tho tbh I wasn't even aware of them 'til I was asked, maybe as the topic will come up as 'recent posts' it might give others a nudge !

Yeah, we can only hope, be cool to read some new ones, although there are some great older ones too to read.
Brownboots is indeed a talented chap. He is on a break from the hobby and admin duties here at ammo for the moment, but there are lots of his posts knocking about on ammo for you to enjoy!
