The crux of the post; a Hong Kong copy of
the Fontanini large-size pirate we've
previously seen before here on a lump of Carrara
Marble, alongside a Papo 45mm
(smallest size they do) pirate, who's toob we've seen in a past Show Report.
The larger figure is 210mm in total, or 150mm sole of foot to eye-line.
That was going to be it!
But at the last minute I thought I'd better
do a comparison with the Carrara-mounted
original, and tucked last year's newie in between them, giving us a technical
'four'! They end up the same height despite having very different bases, by
dint of the blow-moulded chunk of pirated pirate being reduced in size, he also
has a filled-out hat for technical reasons related to that kind of moulding.
I had shot him separately before wondering
what to do with the Papo figure! Peter Evans gave me the gold giant when I was
on my 'country-mouse' trip to the big city the other week, and I think I
picked-up the Papo figure when he
took me to the Toy Project's shop in
Archway?
Goes away and checks - no; he was in the
dino-lot from charity with the robo-space-catpig-thing (and which I'd 'hidden for later'), same week - end of
August! Anyway, thanks again to Peter for the big one!
