evo1 Posted November 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Now thats a blast from the past Dave forgot at that. Think there was some other toys that use the same system to get it going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pook Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 My evil kinevel figure was always missing from the box, I'd always find it in the bedroom of my sisters Sindy house. Bit disturbing really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pook Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) We just used to detach the guns from the table and run round the house shooting ball bearings at each others, sometimes wonder how we even made it into the 80s.

bungle Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 my favourite toy from the above would have been the evil knievel stunt bike but the winder on mine was blue and not red,think i ended up taking it apart in the end to see how it worked,hence to say after that it never worked again,god how i wish i'd looked after my stuff now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanyofrug Posted November 27, 2018 Report Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Does anyone remember these? I'm not sure if I remember correctly but I think you had to assemble the man yourself and his head was like a long pin that connected everything together.
