But when I got home and un-wrapped it it
became obvious that some of the helmet 'detailing' I hadn't given any attention
to was, in actual fact - the riveted-on 'helmet-spaces' for a pair of ears . .
. WTF?! Luckily; not squeaky-voiced mouse sized . . . phew!
Some close-ups showing the markings (a bear
logo - with his tongue out?), the classic or standard three-finger 'cartoon'
hand, odd belt-equipment and vicious, double-barbed, curved under-blade
harpoon!
Does anyone know anything about a deep-sea
diving bear, armed and liable to stick his tongue out? Best find since the Toy
Soldier show in May!
Terranova sent a shot of three more; real
synergy as he didn't know I had the bearskin-diver (heh-heh!), which is above.
The large one looks to be a fish-tank ornament, but looking at the PVC pipe, possibly a filter or aerator disguised
by the diver 'shell'? It also looks to be about the size of my bear, but in polystyrene,
and seems to be several parts (the rocks and coral being undecorated, flecked
mouldings?) with a clip-on helmet and over-belt & braces.
Brian is actually after the ID of the
middle figure which is a metal casting around 54mm, can anyone help him with a
name? It looks a bit too flat-painted for someone like King & Country and
I'm not sure what he's holding but it looks like maybe a deck-gun or something?
The small one is another 25/25mm
war-games/role-playing figure (see yesterdays post on Space Invaders!) and I'd
be interested in an ID.
Return to bear-man-diver-bloke-teddy! I think he's
prizing-open a rusted door or forcing the lid off a treasure chest rather than
attacking someone, but you never know! Perhaps he's preparing to repel Captain
Nemo's men, as he clearly isn't one of them; he's got half-moon ears!
