This chap came in the other day with a
mixed lot, he looks to be a classic 1970's type, a bit grubby, a bit sticky
with leeching phthalates, and the paired holes on the rear in line with the wire
armature, but he's marked 'CHINA' so - like the garden-ties which started all
the 'bendy posts'; probably quite modern.
Also he looks familiar, but I can't place
him; is he a non-police character from Space
Precinct? Some of them were a little lobster/mantid-looking, although I
stress that I'm thinking out loud as I don't recall the antennae . . . Woohbwha-Woohbwha-Woohbwha-Woohbwha!
- that's my Dr. Zoidberg impersonation, be thankful you're only reading it,
it's a worse listen!
If it's Space
Precinct that would definitely shove the date back to the earlier uses of
China as a marking in the run-up to and after 1997's hand-back, funnily enough
- I've just got an ethylene gorilla which looks totally HK but is marked CHIN!

A shelfie I took just after Christmas -
more of the NJ Croce range first
brought to our attention by Brian two years ago - DC 'babes' although it would be more of a fight-out than a night
out with that quintuplet in the same hostelry!
I think one or two were in another line up
a year ago, but with about five versions of the Batman now seen, they may all
be costumed from different sections of the 'expanded' DC-verse?
