You know that shite I said I wouldn't be buying more of, only to buy more when it got reduced to silly money? Well, they (
The Works again!) got another set in and reduced it to two quid! That's JUST
two 'squids people!
A pirate and a colonial explorer type...Hrrummmphh! How could you say no, and I had to buy a set for someone else, so buying two was easy, same queue, same till, same card, same bag, same journey home!
These had a different grave, which although less durable that the vac-forms we looked at last time, are nevertheless a more successful attempt, being a printed, pre-formed card box with a press-out panel for the sarcophagus and memorial stone to sit in.
There were a bunch of flyers in the containing carton.
The display carton and a look at the various ways these figures are attached to the end wall. Some have a stud-and-hole system, others have a dove-tailed, double groove while the explorer has a tip-and-slide (into a rectangular space with a chamfered undercut) base, although he has the holes for non-existent studs, so there must have been a change of plan with him!
On one level they really are rubbish, but as I keep finding them they are growing on me - as a side collection!
