eBay seller the300spartans had Tim-Mee circus figures last month. He's an all-plastics guy, mostly Marx, but lots of other vintage makes.
BTW I tried sending an email and a couple of pictures to the address on your blog, and it bounced. Is it still active?
Hi Mike...I'm not looking that hard! More being conversational, and I need to find the clip-on candle-holders for the Hong Kong ones first, so it's an 'on-going'!
I've just had this to my eMail, so it should work and contributions always welcome....
