E is for Egg Soldiers But Not Toast!

Or at least they are in a folder marked Egg Soldiers and have been edited as the above title for some time san's blurb, but, now I've looked them up, the blurb is here to say they aren't eggs, they're 'Rabbids', geddit? Like rabbits but . . . well, you know all these 'Art Figures; and 'Designer Toys' it all seems to be about death, un-death, disease and/or nihilism!

Art Toys; Cossack Novelty Figurine; Designer Toys; Easter Eggs; Guardsman Bauble; Guardsman Toy Soldier; Novelty Eggs; Novelty Guardsmen; Novelty Rabbits; or Ubil'art l TM; Rabbid Cossack; Rabbid Guardsman; Rabbid's!; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; UBI Art TM;
Anywhoos - These are they! They do look like eggs, and there is an obvious egg-soldiers joke in there for anyone to spot (which is why the title stands), but sadly out of all the Raving Rabbids issued (and they are legion) these happen to be the only two who's ears are hidden by headdress! But Rabbids they are.

A Rabbid Guardsman and a Rabbid Cossack from UBI Art, part of the whole Ubisoft empire, I'm not sure if they are straight-to-store 'art toys' or some sort of game-related characters, my bad, but I don't game and I don't follow designer figures and  . . . I don't care!

God knows what they cost new, but like the Un-Disney-Dunny-Bunny-Bare-Bear-Tiger thing a few Christmases ago, these were among others in a charity-shop pound-bag, and were going to post on Easter Sunday, but have been moved now I know they're not egg-soldiers; bloody imposters!
