As each set only has the twelve items and
with only one item missing the pair of spuds is probably out of the running but
the hang-apart hound or novelty opera-glasses are still in the frame.
However, my attempts to guess the missing
item from what's illustrated in the Busy
Book are thwarted rather by the fact that that the baddie (Emperor Zurg) and both 'Army Men' aren't
in it at all! I could check Google but then I'd have no blurb as there's only
so much you can say about 12-figure, booked-sets when you've already Blogged
them umpteen times!
But, the point here; is very much . . . two
more 'Tim Mee' type army men!
The current Phidal's tend to have only the
licensee and a code, as a mark, thus;

Disney (s18)
. . . the lowercase 's' is constant, I presume the numerals are the year-date? But, the
above (whole back row), which are all Phidal
like, but mostly baseless, are marked differently;

Disney/Pixar DIS1301
. . . yet with consistency across the range (so far they
are all DIS1301) and are I suspect from earlier Phidal sets?
Anyway in the above we have signs of a
previous Toy Story set, The Incredibles (there's a full-based
one on the shops now), Monsters Inc.,
(or Monsters High?), one of the
fish-ones and that belligerent babe we looked at in a Phidal Disney Princess set; Marida.
The two 50mm's (Cat Woman and bloke)
are newer 's'-something's and I think we've seen the whole set previously here
at Small Scale World.
Hey Hugh,
ReplyDeleteCan't get to my wife's busy book collection to check at the moment (currently archiving new stuff!)but if memory serves you are looking for the penguin character, who's name we can't remember.
Hope that helps.
To be honest Steve - it always helps when you comment! But I'll have to google the blighter, to sort him from any other pvc penguins there may be in the PVC TV/Movie - related unknown pile . . . which is scarily big!

The next day - Initial efforts reveal the Gromit penguin 'Feathers McGraw' (without chicken-glove) is going to complicate things further!
