P is for Postponed Plunder Post - Plastic Warrior 2014 May Part - I Show Purchases
So, an old show-plunder post (actually one
of four), the photographs for which have been in Picasa so long, half the
interesting stuff has already been Blogged! But as an exercise in 'how it comes
in' it will hopefully be interesting, I know how I like poring over mixed shots
on evilBay, seeing what I can ID or take a fancy to . . . this is the Plastic
Warrior show plunder, May 2014!
These were the show purchases, with the
exception of the bag bottom centre with the brown funnel, that was floor sweepings
at the end! Visible highlight is probably the two Gem hedges?
The contents all sorted and spread out.
It's 'find your favourite' really . . . quite a bit of space bought - mostly -
from Barry Blood who was thinning his collection out, I was particularly
pleased to get the Gem skier with both poles and both skis, three hard-plastic
from hollow-cast moulds are off the beaten track, footballer flats, a Speedwell
swoppet cowboy and a heap of Khaki infantry . . .
. . . from Adrian Little (and others) as I was
still working on the then 'new' page at the time, not that I've given up, but
it's the odd addition from time-to-time now, and the fact that I still have to
add some text! Note: bottom right; a Cherilea 'dancing loon'!
In the second picture, on the extreme left and center, is the blue figure Dylan from Magic Roundabout?
ReplyDeleteLooks like a few bits by ROCCO in there too: mounted cowboy, mounted guardsman and armless guardsman. Hard to find them unbroken.
ReplyDeleteYes Terranova47 . . . stoned on his 'Hey man! Anybody got a carrot'!

Brian . . . The guardsman top right is Crescent isn't he? And I assumed the lancer is Hilco/Cherilea? But you think the others are Rocco? Well-chuffed if they are!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite in that lot is the proper (India-) rubber ceremonial (Monaco?) in white with yellow 'colonial' hat, I managed to glue him back to some sort of order with plumber's sealant!

Hi Hugh, yes the guardsman top right is Crescent the ROCCO one is in the next line down next to the "cowboy in red with machine gun" it's buried under a Hilco lifeguard so you can't see the rider but the "rocking horse" mount looks like the ROCCO figure. The other one is in 4th row down next to the three spacemen, he is dismountable from his horse. The horse in top row next to the laying down firing cowboy is also ROCCO and the rider looks like the cowboy firing pistol that goes with it, the other two figures in red and blue are something else, don't know what.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh! That's brilliant Brian, I've got several of those rocking-horse ones (in storage!) and the separate rider types (some not broken!), Wild West - I think I put some some in an unknown post ages ago?

The red/blue ones are the Bulgarian swoppet types with a Spencer Smith style horse Peter Evans found two years ago, I blogged them as well!
