Boss Of Cowboys


High Chaparral Airfix figures. I got an Uber- Time Tunnel flashback when I saw this box. The best TV western ever & the best H0 - 00 scale plastic figures ever.
Airfix also did a Tarzan special edition with Boy & elephants & hippos & shit, I can't justify the serious money it takes to get that set. They also did a box of civilians - which might well be the rarest of the lot. I seem to remember owning the box of civilians - I don't know what they were for - but the best game was flying an Airfix Superfortress over them and pretending it was Nagasaki. The scale was right.
Anyway - I have 165 channels & The High Chaparral is never on any of them, surely there's a gap in the cable market for all this old stuff. That's what they used to do & they stopped as soon as I signed up.
Big John Cannon was really hard. My mum liked Manolito. Victoria - well, there was something of an obsession there (she spent half the time tied up by Apaches, but they never broke her spirit). Buck was hard too - but irresponsible with it. Blue Boy was a bit crap (and spent half the time tied up by Apaches).
On a tenuous note - my bruv Andrew tells me that a remake of The Toolbox Murders (starring Cameron Mitchell) is on the cards. My only question is - Why?

If I'm ever granted an audience with the Almighty - I'm sure he'll look just like Big John Cannon.
Hey, so hard on Blue though!?!

Well, he was just in Buck & Manolito's shadow - And they didn't even put him on the front of the Airfix box.
