Speaking of the last time we looked at
them, opening the post is this image from Brian B which I've previously mentioned
I'd forgotten to use, being a variation of the other Jaru cards we've looked at; dated to 2014 it's two years newer than
the previous examples, despite being quite scuffed on the rack! And follows the
same design we've looked at once or twice now, going back to the 1960's - at
least.
And speaking of Henbrant - as we were in yesterday's 'dog-post' - these two are
being carried by Henbrant as
single-figure novelty/party favours. Again; common designs around at the moment
(Airfix clones of the paratrooper
with SMLE and the Afrika Korps officer) and looked at here at Small Scale World under
a couple of brand-marks already.
The last time we saw them they were in Playwrite and Unique branding (the Playwrite
being this size, the Unique slightly
bigger), which is another piece of synergy (we had some yesterday!), as these .
. .
. . . are by Playwrite! But the synergy doesn't end there, as Peter Evans
(roving reporter for Plastic Warrior magazine) reminded me on Tuesday-last
that Playwrite is the new moniker for
WH Cornelius / Success (WHC) who I had
just mentioned to him weren't at the Toy Fair, but they were - as Playwrite! Although I didn't see these
on their stand, I did find them a few hours later in the party superstore!
Another much-used paratrooper design; with
every likelihood of the rest of the para's coming out of storage before July,
we will recap all the old ones with the storage ones and see them all together.
And a figure-design also being used . . .
. . . by Aeromax / New World Toys in this carded example also sent to the
Blog (and closing the post - like bookends!) by Mr. Berke.
This version of the sculpt has been
bling'ed-up with the addition of a flashing LED and a translucent body
material. He'd be more fun if he wasn't equipped with one of the new style
'net' canopies which I think are a bit naff!
