I'm not saying that it's a bad thing to give Tony Abbott a hard time, but surely there are less annoying ways of doing it.

The crater critters were possibly late '60s early '70s and they were little plastic coloured moon folk. I remember also a series of household tool/monsters: eg hammer head something or other. There was also a collection of some sort of cars that you constructed but they again were a little bizarre - like stoneage Fred Flinstone cars or something like that.<br /><br />EMS - maybe not in Tassie? We mainland kids got 'em. You can still see these things in collectible stores, and if you google crater critters there's a freak who has a website with a pic.
