F is for Follow-up - Hawaiian Ukulele Player

When we looked at these the other day, we were looking at cake-decoration sub-piracies in a soft polyethylene for 'Rack Toy Month' who were from the 'Unknown Ethnic Dress Civilians' box . . . well, these - here today - were in the large scale ethnic dancers tub!

I don't actually have a hula-girl yet; Britains or full-size copy, but I got two ukulele players (in the 'big purchase' I think?) and a Hong Kong hard polystyrene clone at one of those 2009-11 shows.

From the left are Britains-Herald's original with an eight-colour paint scheme, in the middle the later reduced-paint version still has six because of the complicated sculpt with flower-garland (Lei) and instrument, while the Hong Kong copy-guy also has eight, but nicely (when you consider how closely those HK Trojan warriors followed Britains) in a new colour-way.

    I found a Hard Plastic Hula girl copy over the weekend, but she has a flat base against this guy's hollowed-out Britains copy, erg; there are at least two figures still to find, a Hollow based girl and a flat based instrumentalist, both in polystyrene!
