. . . my lines are probably further apart than
other's that's for sure, but if you collect the Cherilea UN figures or Marx
Disney, you can't really complain at these; they are all at the same end of
the spectrum. Bit of fun for Good Friday!
These were strange, as they came from a
mixed bag about a week ago, but I'm sure I'd seen them on a kid's comic as freebie/premiums in a
newsagent's the day before, so I can only conclude that two siblings fought
over the free gift until mum took it round to the charity shop - to end the
argument? More likely; like those Dr Who
Adventures figures, they keep being reissued and I happened to see the
re-issues the same time some older ones got discarded!
They are caricature's of popular and common
dino-types - Dippy, Ally, Steggie and Pht . . . Pte . . . Ffutt . . . the
flying one! And I took them apart, because while I consider myself to be Homo-Aspergens, I'm still a curious,
pink, monkey at heart!
They are hard Styrene and probably share
origins with the Octonauts, Clangers and similar comic freebies.
I'll likely give them to some younger relatives, they're new and clean enough
(the Dino's; not the relatives!) or they may go back to charity in the next
'returns bag' - you should see the shite in the current one, a super-deform
child-knight, WWF action figures, a Duplo Sheriff, Corinthians, a magic eight-ball which doesn't work. . . ugh!
These will definitely go back to charity,
someone will love them, I can only hate them! I mean . . . they're hideous! But
each to his own, and if you collect Nutty
Generals you can't raise an eyebrow at these! The line I've drawn - in my
sand - has these and the Nutty Generals
on the Moscow side; if you know what I'm saying!
Marked-up to a Gosnell (could it be?), I assume they are from a larger line, related to some TV
series, cartoon or movie? I don't care, they're horrid; but the box is ticked,
the tag added! There's a stuffed-toys (plush) Gosnell as well?
This pair however will stay, they're very
small, so will take-up no space, probably part of a larger range, which is
still to be ID'd more fully, aren't that cartoony, match well with the board-game
dinosaurs from the other day (lower image shows the closest matching two) and
are the sort of novelty item the collection is knee-deep in any way!
Unmarked, Dippy and Steggie, softish PVC
type polymer, the Stegosaurus over sprayed in a lighter orange and they both
originally had their eyes dotted-in in black; it's all but worn off the
Diplodocus.
