TKQ5 'The Killer Question 5....'

Ok so the deed is done the cabinet is in flames, (probably the fag from the TC) and the survivors didn't even look back.......

There were a couple of surprises, Just as Jean Claude my French Resistance fighter was about to jump into the jeep Hank my combat soldier reminded him he had forgotten his newly restored Camo morse radio. The other shock came as TC ordered my basic soldier to stand easy whilst he took the drivers seat.

So........ My Childhood Tom Stone was first in the Jeep closely followed by my second issue medic, just in case there were burns to treat. My first issue medic was a bit slow of the mark and didn't have a flag or the correct number of medical splints so was ordered back to the cabinet. Next up Hank my Combat Soldier for sheer playability and he's also my best mates childhood figure and a some of the outfit was from Ade. Also my best mates childhood figure the British Officer, didn't think I liked this outfit till I got it. Lastly TC who wouldn't have a TC in their top five?????

Think the choice would have been different in the winter as my mountain and arctic troops would have been better equipped and faster off the mark.... Was surprised the Para's and RMP's never got out the cabinet in time too, Maybe one of the Para's flew out using his turbo copter, I know that's cheating!!!!!!!!    

I just love that knitware. The grren Jumper and beret are just superb     

Stunning selection Mark ! always great to take a medic just in case, I agree with you on the TC, (as that's what Jake is  ) A marvelous selection my friend  

    Lost for words - Brilliant, brilliant thread!    Get knitted!

Very difficult choice, tears are in my eyes as I leave my dak's , grunts and scramble pilot to melt   . But this is my choice , all five chaps are very special to me for various reasons and I would miss these big time. The racing had to be in , cant let that windscreen melt  

Araf!!

well that is without question the most eclectic mix of figures I have ever seen leaving a burning building in a racecar... and quite frankly I don't think I'll see another group like it in my life...

now that is a response to the TKQ5!! 

great set!! and a racing car driven by Henry VIII... perfect!!

Crackin' versatility in your crew... love the mix... It's also very funny how all of us are actually a little upset about having to leave other boys behind... this is serious emotional stuff!!  

great to see the painted head riding shotgun... can't beat a VAM-veteran in the crew... has to be done!

nice choices Sparx!! Yeh!!

 

Well........this was my final selection.

As I have none of my original childhood VAM these are some of the figures and outfits I have collected to replace my favourite childhood VAM.

All are Fuzz Head Grippers, my favourite figures.

The Basic Soldier. So iconic to me, I had a few of these as a child.
Blonde Beardy Adventurer. Loved this figure and still do, very basic but very striking outfit.
Tom Stone. I think this was the last figure I ever got as a child and a firm favourite.
Tank Commander. I got this one Christmas along with the Scorpion Tank, great outfit.
Secret Mission To Dragon Island. Great play value outfit, couldn't believe how hard this was to get hold of when I started collecting.

Their method of escape is the Molto Safari Jeep. I had this as a child as well and got this one through a swap with Del Bo.....I mean Dal.  

Someone is slowing down the escape!!!!!





These guys are not happy about being left behind!!!!

     


Great choices - love that jeep! And the Intruders    

Just remind me again - the silver one is Steve, right?!!!

   , excellent choice's Richard !! love the Intruders hanging at the back and the fact they have nicked some Green beret..., beret !! hilarious !!

Plenty of room in that Jeep too, so they will not be cramped !! a super 5 mate

Well if it's entered in the photo of the month contest I doubt I'll be voting for it!

Brilliant idea for a thread, guys. Amazing photos and figures -- funny stuff!!!
 
I have precious few precious (vintage) figures, so this wasn't quite as hard for me. Limiting it to one vehicle was a little hard, and I don't have that Rover...yet.
 
I also picked my FHQ figure with a nod to Jim/Coalville. Those were some great times! They aren't over yet, but things have really slowed down to a crawl. Thanks for inviting me here. This place is so busy it's impossible for me to keep up, but it's all great!!! My FHQ figure isn't as gray as the others, but he'll get there.
 
MP: first figure I bought as an adult when the need was reawakened in me. Found him at an Antiques center.
 
Greg: Known to you as Tom Stone was bought for me by a friend at a Joe swap meet that I was not able to attend. Same friend also helped me to acquire the French resistance figure.
 
EE/MB: The Eagle Eye Muscle Body figure was a gift from a couple friends at another board. It was my first EE figure.
 
Thanks very much!!!

Great choices gibri......very nice pics!!

Another great selection and Tom Stone (Greg) makes it again. If I was doing mine now I would include the Stone Twins. Tom and Tim. Lol

Thanks, Dal and Richard!  
 
Thank you too, Mark! Good one -- The Stone Twins.   I also noticed a lot of guys decided to save him.
