So, while I was getting the tents down and
shooting them the other day, I forgot that (pretty-much the same week) a parcel
arrived from Peter Evans, which had among all the polymer loveliness; a tent!
A tent which has the same four mould
release-pin marks with the sharply-angled terminals, as the two we looked at
the other day , and which are also for forcing a deep moulding off the male
half of a moulding or machine-tool.
The find (realisation!) allows for a
sizer/comparison shot between both the Jecsan
question-mark (Speedwell/Trojan?) and
the 'smallie' included in that post, for which a second colour variation as
also appeared - as if from nowhere! Along with the 'Q is for...' one now ID'd
by Edwin Fear (cheers Edwin)
as a 4" action-figure accessory from Mattel's
A-Team lines.
Also comparing the Jean totem-pole, with
that copy we looked at the other week [a while back] when I renovated the generic carded set.
You can see the copy is quite a bit smaller.
It's actually a Korona premium, not shown in Peter Konrad's Weichplastic-Werbefiguren,
but mine's an early 2nd edition (1994), and showing all the signs of factory
paint, one or two of the figures shown in Konrad's book have paint, although it's
unusual for premiums, it's not impossible - it's like those Crescent [Kellogg's] guards; I'm sure there's a painted issue of them,
perhaps production overspill/end of promotion clearance?
The blue one is an unpainted Jean original,
and most 'large-scale' totem-poles are nicely scaled for 'small-scale' figures,
not only that, but these from Airfix
- having quite a bit of clothing - make reasonable northern 'woodland' Indians!
