Last year Brian sent us shelfies of the purple
card (they had an orange one the year before!)*, but then donated a sample to
the Blog, which arrived after the event so I've been sitting on them even
since, this year he sent shelfies of the new black-card! I've only gone with
another shot of the orange one in the card, as there are lots of loose ones
now, and it's the only carded sample here, but you get the idea!
In the meantime I'd found an
aluminium-silver and gunmetal-bronzy one in the storage lot, so the sculpts
must be over ten years old, probably older, although maybe not - then - Dolgen Corp., or PMS? The samples from Mr. B from two years ago, and the 99p Stores ones (from nearer Christmas,
I seem to recall?) vary in shade slightly with light and dark tans, the lighter
being the UK (PMS branded) and some Dolgen
ones.
Also shelfied from Brian (in 2017) were the
Walgreen set, which he also then
sent to the Blog last year, so a quick close-up of them; you get 4x4 poses for
16-figures in an 'onion-bag' net, and they are rather floppy!
They are also rather tall! but there are no
rules for fantasy undead skeletal corpses brought back to like and they could
have come form god-knows where, or when!
Thunderbird
Two! No! But . . . when we were kids, birds peanuts
came in long red net-bags (they also came in Christmas stockings and I still
prefer them to salted ones) with a similar tie, but it had a bigger slide and
more substantial loop which was shorter, fatter and more rounded, and it looked
like a red T2, I had a whole
squadron of them!
You don't need the warehouses' piled high
with plastic tat, we've come to expect in the last forty years, kids raised to
imagine, will. And as the planet's journey toward a looming death speeds up,
this is something parents and parenting need to recognise and address.
*Checking the posts over the last few years
it's all a bit complicated and we have almost over-seen these now, but I think
the order of card-graphics is Orange-Purple-Black!
