1. Oh No IcyPeas!!

Illya was MINE! I cut pictures of him out of fan magazines and pinned them to my bulletin board.

A great line from NCIS a while ago. One of the agents asked Gibb what Ducky looked like when he was young. Gibb's response "a little like Illya Kuriyakin."

6. The Ilya crush was universal.

Yet one of the conceits of the series was that Napoleon Solo was the irresistible ladies' man.

11. I had a few of the toys, too, since I was under 10 at the time.

The only one I really remember was a movie camera that popped open into a machine gun.

and the radio that became a gun but I thought the knife that became a gun was too silly.
