About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

Y is for You Wait Ages for One, Then Two Come-along Together!

No; not missives from the PSTSM, although it's funny, he whines I should leave him alone back in April and then spends the summer popping like a seed-pod! And I'm happy I'm so 'not a worry' to him, he only needed the two posts in a row; I'm not under their skin like a tropical bugs-egg's, at all, am I? Hee-hee! And the monkey-lizard is getting quite hysterical . . . not funny - just excited!

No, this is further to the follow-up the other day, this turned-up after I'd posted the article and vacated the Wibbly Wobbly Way for the weekend!


Cocktail Glass Ornaments; Hong Kong Mermaids; Made in China; Made in Hong Kong; Mermaids; Novelty Mermaid Toys; Novelty Toy Mermaids; Plastic Toy Donkey; Plastic Toy Giraffe; Polystyrene Figure; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; The Winner Industrial (International) Co. Ltd.; W; Winner;
The Winner Industrial (International) Company Limited, a bit of a mouthful, still, we'll probably never return to them, but just in case we do, and for the purposes of tagging; 'Winner' will do!

Despite the 'Industrial' in the title they may be just another jobbing wholesaler/shipping agent type, they're probably the same mouldings as those A1 Co., figures we saw on Saturday, certainly the same seven poses, and probably the same glassy transparent polystyrene of my 30-odd year-old example, and a naff novelty I've probably ripped the arse out of by now, but I had nothing-else for today - just lazyness . . . and sorting stuff!

Or are they the quiet-in-the-background manufacturer supplying both the 1980's German importer and 2006's A1 Company? We'll probably never know! A lot of this ephemeral plastic-tat's going to be banned in the near future anyway; if Trump doesn't kill us all first!

Yea! We've been given twelve-years to save the planet - let's have an arms race!

And . . . 

You can have a whole bloody family!
