K is for Kinderfest

I would imagine that despite eggs really being an Easter thing (why did they chose an egg shape and not a sphere?) there will be a fair number of Kinder eggs dragged from the depths of stockings today, a few triple-packs under the tree as 'little presents' as in; "You've had your big present . . . now what's in this?", so here's a few for those of you not blessed by Ferrero's finest milk and white.

This is a shot of Francesco Ferretti's mostly RP (Res Plastics) kinder toys, and it's a joy to behold, he has sent us lots of closer shots and they will run from tomorrow as a 'Twelve Days of Christmas', one per day, little or no blurb as I can't say more than the pictures show and each picture shows enough to keep you looking for minutes so . . . enjoy!

Another long shot, all these shelves will be seen in the coming days, including most of the all-important 'Steckfiguren' some German collectors get quite excited about!

At the same time ' Jargaba12' has got in touch, he is selling his entire collection of what I call Mocherette (for reasons I will one day get round to telling), and anyone interested can get in touch with him by via me.

As well as the Kinder versions he has (or seems to have) all (certainly; most!) of the earlier versions from Val Peltro and Westair, and later Winter Reproductions and Ancestors of Dover, as well as the Russian-made ones issued a few years ago.

An ideal opportunity to fill gaps or build a decent collection of these figures which are as sought-after as the Steckfiguren, which I would take myself if my budget wasn't so squeesed!

'12 days' from tomorrow.

Happy Christmas all!
