F is for Follow-up - Large Scale Figures

Back to 1:1 (from the other day's 2:1!) and both Brian Berke and myself managed to encounter plastic figures (albeit glass-reinforced plastic (GRP)) of conversational size, conversational that is; if you happen to stand next to them with Mr Magoo  levels of myopia! How rude! I only said good-day?!

This has replaced the knight we looked at a year or two ago, outside the local toy shop - yes; the same toy shop who hid their nutcracker at the back of the store! I'm guessing these come from some Playmobil (or PR agency) people-store! I wonder what will turn-up next? I'll keep an eye-out!

A  cartoon-related figure from Brian came as a result of the Giant lady the other day, it's from something called Rick and Morty (by/on Adult Swim) which seems to have totally escaped me! More can be ascertained here! 'The poop in my pants' . . . have they found our level?!

    A local landlord owns an office around the corner from my place. There is high tenant turnover. The landlord also owns a toy store, and when the office he owns is vacant, he converts it temporarily into a satellite toy store. Two of the giant Playmobil (or whatever they are) figures are placed out front during daylight hours. Circa late 2016:

    Brilliant Frank! So I'm definitely looking out for a Santa and a dreaded Redcoat/revenue-man!
