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.

H is for Hollow Herd!

I think we looked at the 'spares' of these years ago in a wider look at celluloid blow-moulds, but this is the original 'master' sample, albeit probably not a complete-sample as far as the species depicted goes . . . or went; these are probably ten years older than me?

Top left is an uncommon example of the really rare Tasman Tygyenalleppocat, although a poor rendering as it's clearly been on a diet! The Hippopottymouth is a bit weak as well, but the rest of them are OK for what they probably were - 1d or 5¢ novelties? Note also; the two very different coloured lions and the lack of a constant scale across the sample, being the no-box equivalent of 'box' scale.

As the large yeti-type seems more concerned with where he's left his keys, the Berserker is probably right to dispatch the man-killing Rea first! These were shot a while ago as I have cleaned the Berserker since!

Joking aside, I like these, and that's them, done.
