I was wandering around Walmart last night and saw these guys on the shelf:



Out of there packaging they remind me of:



who looks quite similar when he "goes Primal"

If that is what we are supposed to look like in a kilt I guess I had better start getting to the gym and working out

Whoa, I want that Willie...

...erm, that came out wrong.

[SFCRick]

Whoa, I want that Willie...

...erm, that came out wrong.

Hahhahha, but I also think Groundskeeper Willie is cool

[Southern Breeze]

Whoa, I want that Willie...

...erm, that came out wrong.

Thankfully I've learned not to drink and read posts.

What are the names of the two top ones?

I agree. I want one, too. (And yeah... That came out several shades of wrong.)

Bizarre. I wonder what trend the manufacturers were on to that led them to think there is a market for these? I see future generations of kids wearing six packs, beards and kilts with shin-high boots because it takes them back to their childhood.

I wonder if Army recruitment benefited from action man? Who were YOUR heros as a kid?

I had two - Banacek (and a few folks will tell you I take my dress code from him still (not that he ever wore a kilt that is)) mainly for the idea of rowing in the early morning mist, and MASH - I'd have been Trapper or Hawkeye only my grades weren't good enough but now I'm definitely Fr Mulcahey!

I bought a 12" G.I. Joe and the Action Man's Argyll and Sutherland Regimental uniform (complete with gumment kilt) and am giving it to a piper buddy for Xmas.

This reminds me of a posing routine done by a friend of mine -- he's my diet coach when I do competitive bodybuilding.

Here's a link to a video of his routine:
