ATTMO Group: Members Posts: 79 Joined: June 2004 Posted: July 29 2004, 05:20 lol all that "voyager action figure" story reminds me of a comic series called "he-man" I used to watch before primary school. voyager-mike and he-man look pretty much alike ( http://www.he-man.de/toys/classic/figuren/figur_he-man.php ) so there we have the hero of our series. now we need a bad guy. that would be RB then. once pretending to be the hero's friend he became a traitor. of course mike has some friends who support him like david "the conductor" who has a conductors stick as weapon, simon drumhead using sonic weapons. apart form his battle guitars mike also has the mighty coal hammer (the one he used on tb I). When his alter ego Richard C (which would solve the old riddle) takes the coal hammer he will transform into mighty-mike,the maestro, " the stongest man in the universe" now thats what I call merchrandising     -------------- "Such is life; and we are but as grass that is cut down, and put into the oven and baked" - Jerome K Jerome Back to top

Holger Group: Members Posts: 1506 Joined: Feb. 2003 Posted: July 29 2004, 05:55 I didn't think of the He-Man connection but I can certainly see where you're coming from!    BTW, this here was the bad guy in the series: http://www.he-man.de/toys/classic/figuren/figur_skeletor.php . Would make a fine RB, don't you think?   Back to top

afghan Group: Members Posts: 145 Joined: July 2004 Posted: July 29 2004, 08:23 What about a build your own Hergest ridge kit ?.It comes complete with 100tons of soil ,2 bags of grass seed and an airfix kit to build your own model plane.    maybe took it a bit to far ? -------------- may you never run aground or fall into the deep deep sound Back to top

hiawatha Group: Members Posts: 2391 Joined: Mar. 2004 Posted: July 29 2004, 08:33 You've sold me on it, if it is the version that lets you terraform asteroids into the HR planetoid.

Tati The Sentinel Group: Members Posts: 3360 Joined: Feb. 2002 Posted: July 29 2004, 09:52 The Voyager action figure it's still on my mind for a while,even before Holger came with the idea.I'm working on a story on the subject really.A bit of fan fiction. Some of my ideas... 1)The morphin' object = celtic cross necklace 2)His alter-ego = Michael Gordon 3)Girlfriend = Fanny There are some much more on that...maybe I'll post it what I've got on my mind soon   Other merchandaise: -Puma's Mike Oldfield series - tennis shoes and clothing. -Five Miles Out radio model controlled airplane. -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

olracUK Group: Members Posts: 1683 Joined: June 2003 Posted: July 30 2004, 18:22 This idea is not far from being serious  -  the oldfield bell mobile for fixing to babies cot's. Wind it up and get a nice lullaby (molly) whilst the twinkling bells rotate slowly. BTW, would the voyager action figure have a little string to pull, that made it say various phrases? Like "Where's the money Richard?", and "mine's a guiness"? -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

Jammer Group: Members Posts: 643 Joined: April 2000 Posted: July 30 2004, 20:13 How about a plastic model of Magellan with an animated Mike that you can wake up? Arthur C Clarke would get royalties as well Or a series of collectable figures from the Crime of Passion video. There would be a rocking Mike with his Adamas guitar, Barry Palmer sitting on a cube and perhaps more members who weren't in the video. Their movements could be synchronised in time with the song. It would make a great novelty phone that plays when it rings Tati: if you're writing a fan fiction, us musicians could compose some additional incidental music for it. It would be great making a Voyager-style piece to a story Back to top

raven4x4x Group: Members Posts: 1535 Joined: Jan. 2002 Posted: July 31 2004, 05:12 How about a model of the building from the Crises cover that you could put in your pond or fishtank? It would need to be powered so it could have the single light on in the corner. Being a bit more serious now, a Mike Oldfield signature PRS or red Stratocaster guitar would be great. -------------- Thank-you for helping us help you help us all. Back to top
