I am 47 and grew up in the UK in the 1970's.

Re: hi everyone

Hi ecofugal and welcome.

I'm also 47 and remember most of the things you mention. Matt Mason passed me by however. At least, he's not immediately familiar.

Re: hi everyone

Thanks for the welcome
Matt Mason was from the States and i don't like that well known the UK.

by the way one TV program that still haunts me after all these years is The Changes (1974). Remember that?
BBC - Cult - Classic TV - The Changes (1975)

Re: hi everyone

I'm a little older than you... but Major Matt Mason did have a brief impact in the UK, as I recall: certainly a few TV ads

On Letrast I was a real fan of the large Waddingtons "Panorama"s: the early version with lots of little black and white figures.
I would love to re-create a few of those: Wild West, Moon Base, Pirate Island... with re-usable vinyl figures, but that would probably be the end of me doing much else.

For much more on Action transfers, this is the best page I've ever found:
