COMPETITION: Have a Sarah Jane Adventure

Fans of the Sarah Jane Adventures will have to be quick if they want to get their hands on the set of 3 Sarah Jane action figure twin packs we have to give away in our fantastic competition. In exchange for the correct answer below 3 lucky readers will win our goody bags of figures from the hit TV show. Each goody bag includes Child Slitheen, General Kudlak or The Graske – each with Sarah Jane Smith in a different outfit.

Die-hard fans will know that Sarah Jane was originally a companion of the third and fourth incarnations of the Doctor from the original Dr Who series but we thought we’d ask a question that doesn’t require that you be born before 1985! Other than saving the world from alien threats and scary monsters what is Sarah Jane’s occupation?

a.    Scientist

b.    Investigative Journalist

c.    Doctor

Please email your answer to lucy@toyology.co.uk.  Winners will be randomly selected on Friday 11^th April 2008.

New and Improved Mr Chip

Remember all those times you screamed answers at the TV whilst watching the classic game show Catchphrase deluding yourself into thinking you were better than the contestants on the show? We know we do! Well this is our chance to prove that we have what it takes with the unbelievably popular Catchphrase DVD which has made a new and improved comeback with exciting new game play and graphics. Invite Roy Walker and Mr Chip into your living room to play everyone’s favourite game show with the objective to say quite literally what you see.

The Hulk Challenge

Do you think you have what it takes to fix Hulk without setting him off or have a wild race through the streets of New York, smashing your opponent’s vehicles along the way in a bid to make it out of the city first? If you do, we suggest you take on the only way to prove your bravery with the two challenges set out in these two very cool nail-biting games.

Hulk Smash Game

Get ready for that wild race we mentioned with your own clay vehicles, made of course with the Hulk Fist mold case. By wild we mean rolling the dice and waiting your turn to move along the path – but still very very exciting especially when you pick a card that lets you smash your opponents vehicles flat. Keep racing and smashing until someone makes it out of the city.

You have plenty of time to prepare for these challenges as both games are out in June – SRP £14.99
