About Me

My photo
No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

R is for Renaissance Reptiles

Another quickie, this one covering a few TMNT bits which came in over Christmas from Brain, Chris and Peter, but; working in reverse . . .

. . . with this 'shelfie' which came in the other day from Mr. Berke, who managed to find three of four (no Michelangelo) of these Playmates figurines, imported into his part of the world by Greenbrier; DTSC - their normal 'partner in crime' seem to have passed on this one?

The missing pose's the problem with here-today-gone-tomorrow, rack-toy sets that happen to have multiple characters; that you sometimes miss one! I never found the missing turtle in the remaindered set a few years ago!

Pack-back and a sizer - you can see from the Lone Star shooter (Berserker on his Christmas break?) that these are an almost perfect 54mm, and they are an un-articulated 'solid' figure in a dense'ish PVC or modern equivalent polymer, and I know that because a few days earlier . . .

. . . Chris Smith had included one in his latest parcel! Here posed next to the key-ring giant Mr. Evans had sent a month or two previously (seen before here at Small Scale World) and which I have now removed from his seriously large (and limiting) base. Indeed, after this shot was taken I removed the key-chain and ring too.

Cheers to all three for the contributions, and while there is no official Talk Like a Teenage Turtle Day (maybe there ought to be!), we will have to have a full TMNT post one day as I have quite a few of them now.
