Who remembers these then? I had the Villa box around 1995 ish which included Bosnich, Charles, Staunton, Ehiogu, McGrath, Townsend, Draper, Taylor, Yorke, Milosevic and Johnson. I don't ever remember seeing figures for Alan Wright or Joachim.

Over the years i ended up buying a few more or getting them as stocking fillers for Xmas including Angel in the O'Leary Rover strip, Hadji and Vassell in the Taylor MK II kit and a couple of mini ones of Petrov and Hendrie from MON's first season.

Anyone remember those Tonka figures from around 1990ish of David Platt and - i think the other one was of Derek Mountfield? Apart from the fact they had names of the back of their shirts - and they looked nothing like either of those players - they were quality. I still have the Platt figure somewhere.

I also remember a Dwight Yorke doll in the last AST kit but i never ever saw one in shops anywhere.

Anyone remember any of these or others i havent mentioned?

Still have Seaman but gave Neville to a United supporter school mate.

Got the 1996 league cup team which includes the Brian Little figure, my six year old plays with them,  they've been in the bath a few times of late...think she's testing a theory about certain individuals 'walking on water'.....

  My eldest used to collect these together with Power Podz, a smaller version which was very collectable.
They used to hold their annual convention in the Holte End concourse, where they had their  annual competition, & various swap areas , always well attended & we got to meet
Gareth Barry at one of these events.
 My lad is now away at Uni , & his interests are somewhat different, however we now have @ 800 + figures boxed up in the garage, ready for the grandchildren!

Blimey, I forgot all about those 1989/90 ones.  I had Sid Cowans and also Marco van Basten as he was favourite non-Villa player at the time.
