Our younger daughter loved them & had one who was a dead ringer for Flinty, complete with orange woolly hair, I know she's in a box in the garage & I'll have to find her tomorrow
Her favourites were the babies, we bought several from Argos & never knew which one she'd get. Waiting at 'Collection Point A' as the box came down the shute was a bit like being in labour & not knowing what the baby would look like, I once said that to the girl serving us, she couldn't stop laughing & I had to apologise to her supervisor for causing mayhem.
