Shelfie'd in one of Mr Berke's favourite NY
discount stores and sent to the blog at Christmas, so still current'ish? We'll
look at the Dino's first even though the second set is the more interesting.
This seems to be a mix of two sets, smaller
monochrome 'minis' in yellow, green and brown; the green being very
washy-looking, and larger models with a bit of airbrushed paint, the whole
bulked-out with the usual rocks and trees and stuff.
They look to be really old sculpts, whether
they are old stock or not remains a mystery, but from some of the stuff which
does turn-up from time to time it's clear there are the odd warehouse or two
full of old stuff out there somewhere!
This is more interesting, as it's the same
figures and vehicles we saw Imperial
(and others) carrying earlier last year and again in Rack Toy Month, the Tiger turret is still on the Sheridan hull and the T-whatever turret
is still on the Tiger's hull!
Unified-Germans versus Yanks? Seems to be a tad against the spirit of NATO
membership!
The 'planes may have been bought-in from
another source, as the F-something 'scaryplane' (F17?) thing turns up quite
often in other play-sets (including Redbox's
Motormax sets) and is in a harder polymer like ABS or propylene, but the Tomcat/Eagle (? I don't really 'do'
aircraft) is usually found in the same crumbly plastic as those figures look to
be the version of (see previous posts), so the stealth-fighter may just be in a
harder plastic due to moulding issues, especially with that tail!
A lot of Fun!
The 'other' agg'lowe! Imports of generic
Airfix 54mm clones, reduced to 25mm.
