The tub, or is it a 'jar'? It's a
cookie-jar isn't it! It was either £2.50 or three-quid I can't remember, PoundworldPlus, and like the Dino' set
the other day, I ignored it for a while, but weakened as I knew RTM was
coming-up and would be happy to show it - RTM sets its own rules, I just roll
with it!
It says, well; Lewis Sales & Marketing of Swindon says "101 pieces"
. . . count them; they're all there and I make it 97, including two stands of
'army man' barbed-wire! Also packing is so random, you get none of one colour,
tons of another and a similar rule applies to poses/species! With only two
camels and 11 animal types, you wonder if at least one may be absent.
One of each in close-up, they are all old
sculpts, from all-over the place (Britains,
Hong Kong, German Wundertüten
premiums) and going back to the 1960's, but re-jigged into a set of similar, or
'uniform' quality, pity that quality
leaves a bit lot to be desired!
As well as a short-count there are some
gash figures - upper of each animal in the photograph - to sort-out before you
let the kids at them, both short-shot miss-moulds and shrinkage damage from
early mould-release are present, but not in large numbers.
But - look on the bright side - there's a
black panther. If you're lucky with both your animal and plastic-colour
selections that is!
