H is for Happy Husky Heroes Haul Heavy something-beginning-with H's

I picked up the third (missing) pose the other day, took a bunch of photo's and sorted them to a folder, tried to name it Festival Huskies and saw it auto-correct to Festival Huskies_1, thought, "That's odd", ran a search for Festival and found I'd shot the other two ages ago . . . so we'll look at two first!

The collage I did ages ago, the sitting and lying poses seem more common which may be simply co-incidence as to how I've randomly encountered them over the years, but may be down to the more delicate nature of the legs on the third pose, and while I haven't found any chalky-brittle examples, they do exist in the wider Gem/Festival oeuvre?

George Musgrave sculpts; the [third!] running pose similar to the one he designed for Britains' Polar Exploration line and believed to be Festival-branded rather than Gem/Ge-Models.

All a bit tatty, but they are probably half-a-century old! The thinned-down brown paint used to spray the main colour seems to adhere better, although rubbing-off over time, but the gloss-black blobs used for the eyes and ears has mostly gone, it probably started flaking before they left the workshop!

  1. Huskies by festival! Makes more sense than I thought as always considered them to be the Queens Corgi's from a cheap Hong Kong set. Never seen the standing either had a few of each of the others over time though.
