Best Title-headline Ever!
The beauty of Trumps crass stupidity is that he is actually killing his own voter-base! And before they march on Virginia in their cargo-pant shorts, waving their confederate flags, they need to get sun-burnt and inject themselves with Jayes Fluid, not only will it protect them from Covid-19, it'll make them whiter than white . . . doit rednecks, doit!
Toy Soldiers & Candy; what's not to like?
The First two artists in this line-up are worth a moment of your time-spent
The British Toy Soldier Company (made in Stoke-on-Trent!)
News on a new show (which is dated late enough to still go ahead) in an interview with Patrick Adams, collector and maker - I like the Roman cavalry bearing-down on the cricket match!
Nice Idea . . . but . . .
I'd probably go with a slightly higher-class of rack-toy 'Army Man' if it was up to me!
On the Subject of Army Men;
The rack-toy army women you first read about here (despite the noise generated elsewhere since!), seem to be moving away from the 'pure' rack-toy principle, with some more detailed, real-world figures and a pink option!
New York Toy Fair
Not really 'our' thing as they are articulated action figures, but if you like your sci-fi, or your Halo, this is for you!
Vanessa Childs Rolls
Nice potted history of Canada's reliable plastics
Toy Soldier Confederate
We've looked at Vik Muniz's work before here, there was going to be a retrospective at the Sarasota Art Museum, I suspect it didn't go ahead (covid-19!) but the image can be found on that there wibbly-wobbly-way.
Playmobil - The French Way
The irony of German figures being used to depict French history possibly lost on the curators?
