F is for Further Follow-up - Rack Toy Astronauts

I knew I had some more somewhere! Because I knew I had some coloured ones, although now they've turned-up I'm disappointed to find no red ones as there were definitely some in my minds-eye, Hey-ho! We've looked at them recently here;

Hing Fat & Generic Astronaut Sets

and here

Follow-up to Hing Fat Astronauts

So there are two 'lots', but they are in one PVC bottle-bag with no header-card and no note, so they were probably either an un-attributable loose purchase, or in one of the dregs bags of the 'big purchase' back in the autumn of oh-ten?

There's not much between them but if I had to commit; I'd say the Hing Fat greys are the slightly poorer finished sculpts? But a situation reversed with the seated figures, where the yellows are very flashy - problem with a/the copied tool?

The pale gray ones share the previously-seen Hing Fat base mark, while the white one and the coloured ones are all unmarked and with no signs of a Hong Kong or China removal, so separate issue with new base-plate or re-ground base-plate? On the subject of quality/finish; look at the spanners.

I'm still looking for the Hong Kong-marked originals, and will look out for more of the minor-sample types when we can return to them again, but not for a few years I think . . . three posts in a couple of months is rather tearing the arse out of it and they are hardly the most exciting of figures; a giant pair of pliers and a fire-extinguisher hose seems to be about as good as it gets!
