"These figures are mostly Unicorn metal, factory painted.
The second and third on row-3 are Phants painted by me and are unlicensed UK made metal figures.
Row four - the four figures on the right are Treens; as per the Phants
Row five is a Crescent Dan Dare/RAF figure, then 3 as per above Phants and Treens. Then a plastic Spacefleet Commando by Eaglewall. Then two larger Auburn Rubber policemen this time the whistle blower is Dan smoking a pipe, followed by two Unicorns and a Comet metal Mekon."

=====================
A lovely display of a favourite from childhood, and - at the risk of being accused of name-dropping;
When we used to fly to Alderney (Britten-Norman Trislander - like a small Lancaster but noisier!), we would sometimes be unable to land (due to fog) and would be re-directed to Guernsey for an unscheduled overnight stay. We used a little B&B, but it often meant supper with General Sir John 'Arnhem' Hackett and his wife.
=====================
Although the best thing there is hiding on the bottom row - where the hell do you go to find a figurine of Desperate Dan? "Cow-pie, with horns!"
Brian also sent a close-up of his Auburn Rubber paint-conversions - Cheers Mr B - some real treats!

ReplyDeleteI guess so Anon, re. maker. I don't know on the dates, but I think Brian was obtaining them pretty recently? You'll have to hope he sees your comment, and he may be able to spread more light on the matter?
