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.

T is for Two - Rack Toys - In The Shops Now!

Something current, something new, something waxy (?), something err . . . green! A couple of recent pocket-money purchases (not everything makes it into the Friday 'H is for ...' posts!), pound each; we buy it so you don't have to!

087816; 165-059; 308781; 6 Pack; GE of Willenhall; Great Expressions; In The Shops Now; Novelty Erasers; PlayWrite; Poundland; Rack Toys; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Success; T is for Two; Teddy Bear Candles; Teddy-bears; WH Cornelius; WHC; WHSmith; Wolverhampton;
Well! They're bears, look . . . teaddy-bears, what's not to like! PlayWrite are the new branding of what used to be Success or WHC, parent - WH Cornelius. Still importing and jobbing wholesale tat to the corner shops and independents (where they still exist) using contacts they've established over more than 60 years in the business.

Light them and their little hearts melt! Murderers!

These were in Poundland, credited to GE of Willenhall (Wolverhampton) and while cheaper than the WHSmith set we saw awhile ago, seem to be the same set, only there's two more, and a new sculpt (bottom, middle), having based the others and coloured some with art markers, I'll leave these as they are for now, but Wild West dioramists may have other ideas!
