Pretty clean-cut for pop-stars; I tend to
think of them as Cliff Richard'a'likes! Around 54mm and made in a standard
model-kit type polystyrene you often find them at shows in the 50p rummage
sections with broken or damaged guitar-necks.
Detail shots.
Thought for the day
There used to be a joke
that when Elvis died there were x-dozen registered Elvis impersonators or tribute
acts, ten years later there were x-hundred registered and ten years after that;
x-thousands of the bespangled crooners, and that extrapolating those figures
forward, the entire population of the planet would be Elvis impersonators by 2051!
Now - with news of a holographic Roy Orbison
back on tour, and Elvis having already had similar treatment, will we one day
fill the known universe with the sound of comfy-rock; with the entire
population of the human race either impersonating a 50's pop-star, or paying to
see a holographic one? Will planets of fake Elvis's launch vast armada's of killer
death-ray armed starships against planets of Roy Orbison-a-likes.
Will the night-skies of a thousand star
systems be lit-up with the supernova-flashes of intergalactic battle fleets
deciding arguments between fans of Supertramp on one side and Supertrooper on
the other! And will they all go into battle playing Wagner's Ride of The Valkyrie's?
In space; no one can hear you croon!
Or should it be 'Sista', good name for a band;
slimmer-sista! Comparison shot; all the others have been seen here at Small Scale World
before, trouble-is they are hidden in the tag list under 'Band' I think, which
is full of Guardsmen, one day I'll have to re-tag the relevant posts under 'pop
music' or something, but we have a couple more HK sets to come and will revisit
Gem at some point. Not to forget - rock star Smurfs!

The 'broken or damaged guitar necks' - these are the rare Pete Townsend variant. They were sold with a cardboard marshall stack, for children to enact their favourite scenes of on stage destruction.
(im making this up of course, but come to think of it, would be fun :))
Hee-hee-hee! There's a Play Set in there somewhere!
