* They're real fun, between 1 and 5 tiny
little almost-stick figures, doing various arrangements of free-fall display
above small, aerial-view, photograph-discs also included a few millimeters
below the figures.
Obviously the trope here is that a very
small (about 1:76th) figure is set into the bouncy-ball, in this case along
with a tiny football about the size of a pin-head.
While the branding is more problematical,
as it's credited to 'England' (the team), Via the Football Association (FA), with the addition of Hy-Pro (an 'outdoor manufacturer'?) but there will be some
management/publicity firm behind that, and they will have commissioned the
artifact (along with mugs and t-shirts et al) from a third party who will
have approached the same contract-manufacturers as every other rack-toy
wholesaler!
The figure (as with all these inclusion
balls) appears to be around 1:72nd scale, but that is the magnifying effect of
the clear sphere of polymer surrounding it, when you dig them out they are
always smaller. Memory suggests we did look at one some time ago - a dinosaur,
or a sea lion? If I can find it, I'll tag it with the new tag, and I can build
on the tag in the future, when I find the rest.
