F is for Follow-ups - Lucky / LP

I've been photographing all sorts of odd-and-sods in the last few months, had bits sent in by readers/followers, had three hardly-used photo-sessions at Sandown and several decent purchases in Charity shops, and I'm starting to sort some of it out into some sort of order, and we'll be dipping into it all between now and Christmas, starting with a few follow-up's to previous posts here at Small Scale World.

This is one of several additions to the Luck Toys box in the past few months, the others being either duplicates or below! He's missing his arm, but he came in a mixed lot from a charity shop, so A) I was stuck with him and B) it turned-out he was a new variation of base mark, but only for this figure, the base actually tying-him in to the firemen, some of whom have the 1112 coding, along with the race mechanics.

This was 50p at Sandown Park toy fair last weekend, he seems to be another of the Lucky, Clifford, OK [et al] figures, but not one I'm familiar with and the first in the larger 54/60mm range with the smooth base in a flesh-coloured styrene plastic of the generic 40mm figures we looked at here.

He's a paint conversion of a Minimodels racing-car driver, having a cigarette before the race, from the Scalextric series, but he's also lost his fag in the Hong Kong pantograph!

27-11-17 - I think this may turn-out to be a Roxy Toy figure, as will the smaller versions in the same pink plastic with smooth bases?

Ages ago we looked at the LP divers from the cake-decoration range (they were also sold from racks - witness the Lifeguard carded set in Plastic Warrior issue 166), with an addition from a reader a few days later; here are two more which came-in back in the summer some time.
