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.

A is for Another Day; Another Board Game!

Actually; the way it's all turned out including today's return to blogging - it's 'same day' but I meant purchase not posting!

End of May (she's still there!) Charity shop purchase here, another (YET another!) Monopoly version; between Monopoly and Cludo, they've (Hasbro-Kenner-Parker-Waddington's) pretty well got the wall of games at the Toysaurus Smyths sewn-up!


Monopoly Version, Hasbro Monopoly, Hasbro-Kenner-Parker, Avengers Franchise, Marvel, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Marvel's Hawkeye, Marvel's Black Widow, PVC-like Polymer, 25/28mm, Role-Playing Figures, Hasbro Canada, Marvel's Captain America, Marvel's Hulk, Marvel's Thor, Marvel's Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Monopoly Captain America, Monopoly The Hulk ,Monopoly Thor ,Monopoly Iron Man, Monopoly Marvel's Hawkeye, Monopoly Marvel's Black Widow, Plastic Toy Captain America, Plastic Toy The Hulk, Plastic Toy Thor, Plastic Toy Iron Man, Plastic Toy Marvel's Hawkeye, Plastic Toy Marvel's Black Widow, Avengers Captain America, Avengers The Hulk, Avengers Thor, Avengers Iron Man, Avengers Hawkeye, Avengers Black Widow
This one's tied-in to the Avengers franchise from Marvel, but it comes with six useful figures and these modern games tend to a quid or a quid-fifty so it's no hardship! This one originates with Hasbro Canada, but is 'Made in USA' . . . except for the imported bits!

Monopoly Version, Hasbro Monopoly, Hasbro-Kenner-Parker, Avengers Franchise, Marvel, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, Marvel's Hawkeye, Marvel's Black Widow, PVC-like Polymer, 25/28mm, Role-Playing Figures, Hasbro Canada, Marvel's Captain America, Marvel's Hulk, Marvel's Thor, Marvel's Iron Man, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Monopoly Captain America, Monopoly The Hulk ,Monopoly Thor ,Monopoly Iron Man, Monopoly Marvel's Hawkeye, Monopoly Marvel's Black Widow, Plastic Toy Captain America, Plastic Toy The Hulk, Plastic Toy Thor, Plastic Toy Iron Man, Plastic Toy Marvel's Hawkeye, Plastic Toy Marvel's Black Widow, Avengers Captain America, Avengers The Hulk, Avengers Thor, Avengers Iron Man, Avengers Hawkeye, Avengers Black Widow
The figures, as they are the sole reason for the exercise, everything else having gone off with the contents of the blue-bin back in May; Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, 'Marvel's Hawkeye' (as opposed to the 4077th's Hawkeye . . . or the USAF Hawkeye?) and 'Marvel's Black Widow' (as opposed to Mother Nature's black widows!), here more of a Charcoal-blue-grey Widow!

They're fun, a soft PVC-like polymer and will go nicely with 25/28mm role-playing figures.
