S is for Sally's Silver Band

A box-ticker, but one I'm happy to have as it's a lovely set, and happy to keep brief, as it was fully covered in Plastic Warrior magazine not that long ago and I don't know enough about silver bands, musical instruments (as we've seen before!) or even the Salvation Army!

The 'Salvation Army Trade Department Hong Kong' apart from being a mouthful of words also sounds frightfully grand for an organisation I can't remember having ever seen associated with another product? But there you go; possibly a phantom brand for reasons of tax or charity status, or maybe a/some Christian Chinese produced them at cost or paid for the contract or something?

Figures - vinyl/PVC - are a tad on the large size, coming in at around 65mm, although you can see they are not the same height, with the lone side-drummer quite noticeably smaller than his band-mates at 62mm all-in. That's them, ♫♪♪♫ Onward Christian Soldiers ♫♫♪ and all that; Christmas is coming!
