About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

N is for Ninjamites!

Giveaway premiums across Europe, blind-bagged in Italy I think (ours are in a soft PVC polymer), they were also available in the US in a rigid-plastic as boxed-tray and blister-card sets (see link at end) with glow-in-the-dark paint-highlights.

A small sample, but they are near-deforms, with scale a bit 'loose' (30/35mm) so it's as many as I need, given that the box is now ticked and a few-more will come in with mixed lots in the years to come!

Originating in 1985; I think most of mine were from Mr. Lucky bags in the mid-late 1990's?

Soupie nailed the pose-count and US-side of things here, he also has more links to various other relevant sites.

And no! I have no idea why one of them has six arms! I'll have a guess that it's a bed-bug 'mite' in-joke!
