About Me

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.

F is for Follow-up . . . Kain?

A quickie, but interesting nevertheless, you remember the three numbered cowboys I showed a while ago in a mixed post of Wild West oddities, well, an Indian has turned-up with the same scalloped-edge base and the same number (in the figure range - 10/30's) in the same font (Ariel Round or one of the Hun/Din's).

32; Cowboys and Indians; Figure 32; Kain; Kain Premium Figures; Native American Indian; Native American Toys; Premium Toy Figures; Premiums; Red Indian; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Wild West; Wild West Premiums;
But this chap is clearly marked Kain? The smudge over the 'K' is where it's caught a finger-nail or something and been scraped a bit flat. I tried Googleing 'vintage kain' and just got loads of fashion pages, so I have no clue as to origins, but it looks like a premium of some kind?

On the downside - he lacks the full-hollow to his base underside and is a Crescent copy, not a Marx sculpt? 

So not a follow-up to Kain, but Kain; a follow-up!
 
Now known to be Greek premiums (product still unknown), there was a latter generic issue as carded rack-toys.
