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.

Y is for Yawn!

Nah! Not really, but we don't get many 'Y's in the tag-list! This was going to be a figure-free day today, here at Small Scale World, looking at vehicles and I said as much to a loyal reader in an eMail last night, but in the end and because of the problems with BT-WiFi (which clearly means 'Where Is FIdelity) I'm chucking this up here for now, cos I've managed an Internet window, and it may be all you get today!

For those who have been on holiday, there's plenty published recently to catch-up on, for those observing lockdowns and social distancing who have been following more closely, sorry; 'cos it's not even that 'new' or interesting, but the box needs ticking!

Seen just about everywhere now, and associated with about five brandings already, we're adding another here; Stobok, almost certainly a phantom-brand of Amazon's own warehouses (it was a 'lockdown' purchase along with the Egyptians!), it's the accessories which are of interest here, the figures being-sub-sub-piracies and of the accessories, the totem pole, being also the least interesting (also a sub-piracy of a common design), that's got the worst image out of the way!

These are the nice bits; and worth the paltry sum you can find the set for. A 'sky' or 'air-burial' platform (which can also be a lookout!)* in six parts and a five-part camp-fire and cooking tripod arrangement. The latter useful with any period or scenario from cave-men to a galaxy far, far away!

* Or shelter roof!

The Teepee (Tipi) is a bit so-so, but nice for being not the Britains one! Both the decoration and the fully-round sculpting setting it apart from the much copied 'usuall' one and while it's fair to suggest the flat has britains DNA, equally there aren't many ways of showing a flap and folded back against the tent's body is the easiest!

Heh-hay! It's another Marra'jah'wanna-tree! The last time we saw this it was in a Red Deer dinosaur set I think? Which probably means this set may turn-up in Red Deer packaging, although it has already been attributed to Maxxi Toys, who sell in the same stores that take Red Deer branded product, so they may both be generics from the same source anyway?

That's it, that's them, box ticked.

Le Creuset? Canadian Indians! Maybe not cavemen then! :-)
