Hi Philip
I am writing in regards to the Centurions toy patents. WOW THANK YOU for sharing these pictures and information. I am from the UK and have been a Centurions fan since 86. I have a blog about the Centurions which is in its early stages, I am trying to connect with Centurions fans all over the world and share information that was never released.
I love your articles on other topics, I know you lived in one of the best times in a child’s life the 80s.
However please feel free to visit my blog
Once again Thanks for sharing.
P.S. may I ask you where you obtained the photos?
