T is for Two - Novelty Rack Toys

This is just clearing junk from Picasa, but . . . they are both figural, fun, quality junk!

From Accoutrements, possibly via Archie McPhee (I made-up an order from them back in the 1990's when they (and BuM) were carrying the Giant re-issues) comes this set of Hula dancers on swizzle-sticks.

One day I'll get them out and cut a couple off to base them as stand-alone figures, but for now they stay-put. About 25mm and a polypropylene type polymer.

These expandable toys fall into two categories; fun stocking fillers for kids at Christmas and Stag/Hen stuff, this is really from the latter, and after an explosion of them in the early-1990's they faded a bit, but the novelty and gift section of Waterstone's is still good for a selection of Nun's, Escorts and Body-builders!

Crap photograph not helped by the expanding foam figurine being in an orange-red, the worst of all colours to shoot! 40mm dry . . . 100+ wet . . . 'ish! Now defunct Marshall's of the West Country were the importer on this one.
