F is for From the Sublime to the Ridiculous!

Just a quickie in case I don't get anything else up in time for Monday!

Ancient Chinese; Ancient Japanese; Asian Toy Figures; Celluloid Acetate Figure; Celluloid Nitrate Figure; Celluloid Novelty; Celluloid Toys; Chinese Figures; Chinese Toy Soldiers; Chinese Warrior; Japanese Warrior; Plastic Toy Soldier; Sino-Japanese; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Smart Toys Creative; South Asia; South East Asia; South Vietnam and Thailand; Southern Asia; Tourist Novelty; Trading House Mirika; Vintage Toy Soldiers;
The figure in the center is that crappy China-via-Russia-to-Germany thing I bought at Plastic Warrior's show back in May (hey, I'm nothing if not an esoteric completist!), either side of him is a probably Japanese-made (from one of those scallop-shell, mini-diorama, touristy things) South Asian warrior of the contemporaneous era (depicted), but ten times nicer!

He's also interesting in being a solid, rather than the usual hollow vac-form or blow-mould, despite being the same celluloid or cellulose acetate.

As to the red one; when I said back in June/July "We won't see them again here very soon or very often!" I clearly lied! Issued/packed by Smart Toys Creative of Yiwu, China, imported into Russia by Trading House Mirika.


That's it, something for Monday morning!
