However they (hangers) are now becoming an
Easter 'thing' over here, and while it's still only in some strata of society,
I picked up a bag of them in a charity shop the other day and we'll have a
quick shufti - as it's Easter and they're figural!
Only the one duplicate (green-egg hugger)
and they are poured-resin with nylon-cord string-hangers. They are what they
are.
Hollow, blow-moulded rabbits. The technique
seems to involve an element of either cutting/stamping or very thin-walled
moulds, as two of the figurines have strange bubbles of flash (arrowed) which
have a slim join to the product as if the hot polymer has leaked into an
adjoining - yet restrictive - chamber, I can't get my head round picturing it
to be honest!
They are like the waste you would get from
between repeat stampings in sheet material, maybe a measured shot of polymer is
blown into a mold as it stamps together - like a glass bottle mould? Or am I
talking crap!
