    Help AJ find his son.....

    Here's a good story for a Friday.......

    When I was a kid, my Grandfather gave me a little bendy figure of a boxer which hung from his rearview mirror. I was 7yrs old and playing with Megos was my life. The little bendy was named "Baldy" (because he was...um....bald) and because he was so short towards my Megos, I made him Action Jackson's son. Whenever I played with AJ, old Baldy wasn't far behind. Then the unthinkable happened.....

    When I was 9yrs old, I was heading to the park carrying my Evel Knievel Scramble Van with several Megos stuffed in the back. Somehow Baldy fell out and was lost. My poor Mom helped me search for hours but Baldy was gone forever.

    I had incorporated into my games that Baldy had been kidnapped and that AJ would never be the same after losing his son. Baldy has been missing for over 20 years and I'd like nothing more than to reunite him with my AJ figure. Truth is, that bendy was the only thing my Grandfather ever gave me and it meant a lot to me.

    I've tried eBay and Google but bendiys are quite common and hard to find. Baldy had brown boxing gloves and googly eyes and that pretty much sums it up. If anyone can help find Baldy or have any leads.....please let me know.

    Help me find AJ's son.

                Thanks Iron fox, but that's not him. Baldy is a bendy toy like Gumby.

                    That's awesome! I was hoping you'd have a happy ending to your search.

                      I can't begin to tell everyone how much this means to me. Whenever he arrives I will post pics of Baldy & AJ.

                      (keep in mind this is my childhood AJ and is in rough shape due to several coats of paint on his reconstructed face)

                          That is such a cool story. I can't wait to see your pics of the reunion.


                          Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

                            Ok. Orphans! Listen to Ignacio. I know it is fun to wrestle. A nice piledrive to the face... or a punch to the face... but you cannot do it. Because, it is in the Bible not to wrestle your neighbour.

                              Maybe...his Mom was a Zira who I named Louise. But doesn't explain the bald head.
