A wee bit early for the States, Ian, but...right back at You! Any chance of using one of Your skeletons for Lord Death Man? BTW, Ian, when does Australia celebrate Halloween?

Cheers, as always, my Friend,

when does Australia celebrate Halloween?

We don't really. But the bargain stores always hope it'll catch on.

Hey Ian, I would think that "Guy Fawkes Day" would have caught on there more than Halloween would, but given Australia's History, I could see where if GFD caught on, it might have taken a slightly differing bent from what it is in England.

On another note, the Series 4 Batman FTC figure ( the one in light blue and grey uniform), is a bit of a non-starter, IMHO, as the cowled head id WAY over size for the body. Quite disappointment as I was planning to use it as the basis for my 1940 Bat Man figure. I'm afraid that I'll have to hunt down a proper size Pez dispenser head and start from there, ala Dark Lord 1969 . Any suggestions or advice, Ian?

Thanks in advance,

We had "Cracker Night", and celebrated it on the Saturday night of the June Queen's Birthday long weekend (middle of winter). Alas, our last one was in 1986, after decades of kids blowing up their fingers, neighbours' mailboxes and cats' tails.

I take it, my Friend that You got my P.M.? I think that there are many her in the U.S. that would just love to get rid of "Crackers" if they could. Glad You weren't at that Amusement Park!

I did reply, but it bounced. You had a spelling error in your email address.

Dreamworld is in Coomera, on the Gold Coast in Queensland. (I do own a new rental property nearby, but I very rarely get up that way.) The four people killed come from Canberra. Coincidentally, I was at Luna Park Sydney on Monday afternoon, taking in atmosphere before my writing course. It was eerily empty, as they were closing up for the afternoon. Thanks for your concern. Always such a tragedy when people go to have fun and it turns into terror.

Thanks, my Friend. I did get Your p.m. and just answered it!

I've actually ordered the in-scale Santa Claus action figure from Figures Toy Company. Not only can he do his window cameo during a Bat-climb, he'll be useful for other festive pics.
