Mike Power comes in from the cold.

I loved reading that comic somekindajoe , really looking forward to reading the next part.

After some extensive lobbying from BAM HQ (well a lot of complaining and moaning actually!) Cliff has finally given the go ahead to rebuild the childhood Mike Power! As it's such a sensitive operation he's put an outsider in charge of it.

my 1st mike powers was just a head so i stuck it on a mam body with a pursuit craft pilots overalls on , i have since had an upgrade as you do

Brilliant stuff , I am finding your post most interesting and amusing at the same time .

Your Atomic Man even has the eyes of an alcoholic... how do you stage these things so successfully? Or, maybe it isn't staged at all?!

Kuba is going to get all the best jobs to work on at SKJ HQ I see!

I don't know wether to laugh or report you to the RSPCAM (Royal Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Atomic Man)

Once he's fixed up he'll be the pride of your collection.

Steve, I'm sure you must be excited and pleased to know that the annual figure from the GIJCC (collectors club) this year is a remake of Atomic Man. It will also be the last of the annual "free" figures as they are closing up shop.

But take heart, this new figure has two atomic legs so he no longer is stuck running in circles...

Down side is he may be able to outrun the snatch squad...

@ Brian!

Great comic so far! Can they rebuild him - do they have the technology? Can't wait to see the next episode!

You have the technology you can rebuild him he'll be the six and a half quid man

Can't see it myself!

An update of sorts...

While it's true that progress has been slow on poor old Mike's rebuild he hasn't been totally forgotten here at SKJ HQ.





As Mike was there on the original '76 mission Joe thought it would be a nice gesture to take him along this time too. So while Hank and Bruce took a MP40, M16 and grease gun as authentic props for recreating the old pics, Joe stashed Mike's head in his Turbo-Copter stowage compartment. I mean, there was Mike's head sitting unattended on a table in the lab, obviously destined for the bin, in need of rescue...

SKJ... that last post was hilarious. Do continue 

Fancy a kick about???
Poor old Mike!

Glad you found a way for him to be useful to the team.

The title suggested to me that old Mike might be referred to as
old numbnuts... Coming in from the cold and all...

They should have stuck his head on a stick and left it out there in the wilds as a warning to other impostors... BE AFRAID !!!

Great pictures! Mike Power definitely has a love him or hate him reputation. I've got a soft spot for him. Heck, he's even got access to the car keys!



The Hasbro vs. Action man versions are interesting in their variation. Might have to be on the look out for a flocked Mike!

Sounds good Nate! mice shot of Major Mike in his Jeep

Here are some shots of my Atomic dudes. I've added a custom 3rd version which I call the Canadian version as a friend of mine from Canada did the flocking. The UK version was sent to me by an old friend from Blackpool.



here is a shot with the "Mountain Outpost" in the background:




Here's more of the story:

and a prequel:

I wonder which camp the guys at SKJ HQ are in!

A great trio of Atomics Brian. I know it was first and foremost a cost cutting exercise but I have to say I think I prefer the US 'PH' version best. It avoids that unfortunate 'Disco' look that flocking causes!

Terrific stuff Brian! and very funny

The Action Man version has flocked hair and a button on his chest.

How did I miss your comic last night Brian??

Full of jokes and one-liners, and mostly at the expense of the Atomic trio!

10/10!

Thanks Steve, after I made the initial post I came back and edited it to add some more of those old stories. You must have read it before the other stuff was added. I think I got them out of order but thanks for acknowledging my meager attempts at humor.
