About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

L is for Lone Wabbit and Egg: Bunny Cart at the River Styx!


What? You can't have Easter without an Easter bunny . . .err . . . actually you can, and in ten years here at Small Scale World; we have . . . several times! While the Germans run with a hare. They're going extinct you know; hares and rabbits, terribly sad, but some idiot left some pink monkeys in charge of the planet!

Anyway, that's the first paragraph provided with text . . .

. . . I shot this on Adrien Little's stand at the Plastic Warrior show a year ago (not long now), and have been catching sight of it in Picasa, regularly, ever since, it's a bit of fun but I'll be glad to get it on the dongle now!

Speaking of the dongles - after the Peter Pan Playthings dancer the other day - this is another of the PPP's in the archive, the other obvious one being Pritchard Patent Products, but I have a feeling there's a forth; just one of those little quirks!

The box-art doesn't lie . . . much, there's no sitting 'number two'! It's figural, it's seasonal and it has a bit of age. It would have been filled with smaller eggs, which were sometimes that cheap, gritty, chocolate 'flavor' sugar-candy, but if you were lucky, they were proper chocolate eggs in two halves, held together by the foil, with - if you were really, really lucky - hazelnut-ganache soft centres.

Happy Egg'tastic Easter loyal readers!
