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.

Q is for Question Time . . . Quorgi?

Many thanks to Adrain Little who as good as gave me this last weekend, having saved it for me knowing I like oddities, the question is can you add anything to the description?

Corgi Dog; Corgi Mettoy; Corgi Toys; Corporate Mascot; Diecast Toy Accessory; Logo Mascot; Mettoy Corgi; Mettoy Playcraft; Novelty Figurine; Novelty Toy; Plastic Toy Dog; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Toy Animal; Toy Dog;
It looks like the Corgi Toys logo/mascot, it's made from a dense, white PVC-rubber, like a lot of Corgi's die-cast accessory figure production, and it's large, almost Action Man compatible, yes, it's a chunk!

My suspicion is some sort of show display or retail sales-unit finial, but there's no sign of glue or other fixing, so it may just be a dolls house accessory or some generic toy animal. There are no marks of any kind, so it's a bit of a mystery!
