About Me

My photo
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.

F is for Follow-up - Family Photo . . . Not!

Just a quickie, looking at the sum-total (not!) of ZIP farm animals, now I've found the storage lot;

1:32nd Scale Farm Animals; 1:32nd Scale Toys Animals; 54mm Farm Animals; 54mm Figures; Animals; Britains; Colonil; Colonil Animals; Colonil Farm Animals; Colonil Piglets; Colonil Pigs; Colonil Premiums; Elastolin; Ethylene Toy; Farm Animals; Farming Figures & Animals; Hong Kong; Hong Kong Mark; Made in China; Made in Hong Kong; Piglets; Pigs; Plastic Figurines; Plastic Novelty; Plastic Toys; Polyethylene Toy Animals; Polyethylene Toy Figures; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Timpo; Zip; Zip Animals; ZIP Brand; Zip Farm Animals; Zip Hong Kong; Zip Pigs; Zip Zoo Animals; Zip's Colonil Animal Premiums; Zoo Animals;
This is what I had in storage, and which I thought I'd Blogged years ago, only to find I hadn't, when I came to Blog them [again!] a while ago. I'd forgotten the cow was in there, and the second pig was not missed, poor thing!

1:32nd Scale Farm Animals; 1:32nd Scale Toys Animals; 54mm Farm Animals; 54mm Figures; Animals; Britains; Colonil; Colonil Animals; Colonil Farm Animals; Colonil Piglets; Colonil Pigs; Colonil Premiums; Elastolin; Ethylene Toy; Farm Animals; Farming Figures & Animals; Hong Kong; Hong Kong Mark; Made in China; Made in Hong Kong; Piglets; Pigs; Plastic Figurines; Plastic Novelty; Plastic Toys; Polyethylene Toy Animals; Polyethylene Toy Figures; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Timpo; Zip; Zip Animals; ZIP Brand; Zip Farm Animals; Zip Hong Kong; Zip Pigs; Zip Zoo Animals; Zip's Colonil Animal Premiums; Zoo Animals;
Putting them together with two lots I had here should have given us the 'family photo' in the post-title, but . . . the pigs which turned-up in one of Jim's donations to the Blog have disappeared into the semi-, un-, still-to-be-sorted heap.

The animals and the Wild West have rather been allowed to pile-up, and while I started to sort the Cowboys and Indians the other night, it proved too daunting a task and I ended up sorting Dinosaurs instead! So we will return to ZIP farm, when I have some new ones AND the missing piggie-wigs have rejoined the farm!

All marked ZIP except the Britains-clone scratching-nose-foal and the smaller, based piglet. Four legs - good; four legs present - better . . . next time!
