A is for "And now for something completely different"

This might not look like it, but IS - another festive post! These were given away in Christmas Crackers, as if they'd be found anywhere else!

Being among the most frightful figures in my collection, these do bare more than a passing resemblance to some large scale (100mm?) comic characters originating in - I think - Europe which included a clown, or even some of the Marx 'Nutty' biggies. Likewise there were the Wierd-o's kits issued by several companies under one title or another. Clearly the tail end of some odd late 60's/70's fad for over the top caricatures! 35mm give-or-take.
