About Me

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.

E is for Elfie's Elfy Elfish- Shelfies!



Actually; Elfie had nothing to do with it, I don't even know an Elfie - stop following me crazy woman!

Couple of quickies today, both shelfies, not because they don't have some merit - I wouldn't photograph them if there wasn't something acceptable about them - but because they are still a bit pricey for what they are, and what they are is that difficult 65-70+mm size of all this modern PVC and it's not something I'm tripping over myself to garner in quantity; it'll all turn-up in mixed lots soon anyway!

Disney's Frozen, in TK Maxx now, Bullyland clearance and sized to go with all their other stuff, paint out the 'Anime eyes' and they'll mostly make half-decent medieval-folk wandering around at some jousting tournament!

Not the snowman; don't be silly, he needs to be added to the cake-decoration side-collection's snowman zone!

Dodgy close-ups; dodgy focus, dodgy lighting, and that's after cropping and cropping again!

This was also in TK Maxx, but a few months ago; Simba's range of Magic Fairies, the figure is lovely, very Tolkienesque, but the accessories are double-plus Barbie shite in metafleck transparent plastic with battery-operated messaging!

There's no place for imagination in any of this type of stuff, there's a corporate-approved storyline and a talking boat/bird/whatever making sure you stay on that line! Fussa-russa . . .
