By the time you receive this December will be drawing to an end as will another year. As I get older the years seem to pass quicker and those often forgotten put off or neglected task become more and more important. It’s been 12 years now since I packed my bags moved to Thailand to start on a new adventure, and looking back it has been quite some journey but I have no regrets! And the past year has been no different with some major, and minor, challenges but I look forward to the New Year with renewed energy and confidence to meet to challenges to come. I have lots of plans for this publication and the AFR site as a whole, incluing a new membership site, a new interactive publication, a members discount card, forums and more, so I hope you’ll join me on the adventures and help steer me right when I go wrong! As for this month’s issue there are three more guides. The first of these is a guide to Beetlejuice figures. This is one of my favourite movies, particular the character played by Wimona Rider of morbid, depressing, goth teenager Lydia, and with the recent news of a sequel being filmed I thought the time was ripe to take a look at this remarkable if uneventful line. The second short guide takes a look at the Mego line of Disney’s The Black Hole figures, which both Disney and Mego had high hopes for, but alas were not to be met. The third guide is the first of an ongoing series of articles taking an indepth look at the huge catalog of Toy Biz Spider-Man action figures. This first article takes a look at The Animated Spider-Man line from Series 1 through to Series 7. Other articles this month take a look at the Top 10 Batman Villains as well as the regular features on the Top eBay Auctions and Captain Toys Reviews. As always, take care + look after yourselfs.
