Welcome to the latest Never Mind The Adverts Here Are The Toys!
In this edition, I finally get my hands on a Thirteenth Doctor action figure as portrayed by Jodie Whittaker in the BBC sci-fi drama Doctor Who. Judge Death stops by to give us an intimate portrait. X-23 Laura Kinney strikes some cool poses. Barbie meets a Dalek! And test your knowledge with TVTA’s fun-time action figure quiz: can you identify the characters and which franchise they belong to?

When 13 met Martha…
The Doctor and Martha Jones finally meet. It’s only natural they strike a pose for the camera.

Martha: Enough of the posing around. I just spotted danger ahead… I think I saw a Dalek! 13: Really? Where? Oh no, I just remembered I don’t like Daleks, neither do you. Let’s get after it!

Martha: oh, it’s okay… looks like Barbie is dealing with the Dalek situation now. 13: Barbie… how did she get here?
when Barbie met Dalek
Dalek: Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Barbie: All in good time my lovely new blue accessory… first we have to choose outfits, do our hair, bake cakes, then there’s this cool party I’m throwing later over at my place. What? You haven’t seen my dream house yet!?!

Quiz time!!!
And now, from Norwich, it’s the quiz of the week! Presenting, in glorious TVTAColorVision, the TVTA fun-time action figure quiz: Identify each character for 1 point, its franchise for a bonus point. Can you score more than 14 points? Don’t feel bad if not, this is quite hard, and Wooof only scored 5 points and he’s supposed to be an expert! Haha. Hard cheese, cat… What, shhhh, don’t tell the readers I only scored 3 points!
Answers are at the end of the post… no cheating! Deduct a point if you do, naughty you!
Right, let’s go! Name the following characters, and the franchise they appear in…
Cowboys!
And finally, how about some cool cowboy figures from the 1980s? These were made by a company called Gerca. I remember nagging my mom for ages as a kid for a pack of cowboys very similar to these – I wanted them because their hats and guns were removable and the body parts interchangeable!
Wild West figures. Gerca. 1980s. Made in Macau. Loose.
