I mentioned another parcel from Peter Evans
the other day, and I'm not planning it an 'H is for...' as it will mostly get
an outing in rack-toy month (RTM - August), although I have taken a birds-eye shot for later, but these two were loose in the
parcel, I have no idea where they came from but it must be a play-set toy or
activity pack of some kind?
Both a rather bright yellow polyethylene
and entirely hollow, posed here with an Atlantic
Pharaonic chariot in 1:72nd as the best size guide. Actually Pharaoh has got in
the way - they are separate sculpts, not joined at the corners! 16-06-20 - They are from the larger 'Egypt' bucket by K&M under the Wild Republic brand (code 22854).
While I had camera and Egyptians at the
same location . . . this one is a polished piece of what I suspect is Portland
sandstone, but filled with vegetative detritus rather than the more
recognisable fossils you find on Westminster Bridge or the side of the Economist
Building; an off-cut in other words, which lent itself to being shaped-up and
polished as a pyramidal keepsake!
In comparison with the card one we looked
at a while ago, some kids' activity-magazine I picked-up in a charity shop a
year or so ago. There is a fourth I could show, but anyone who's seen the Marx Miniature Masterpiece pyramid will
know it's too tall, too blunt, too 'square' and too err . . . purple (!) to be
included this time, we'll check it out in a MMM-accessory
round-up some time!
The figure shots here show the commoner
colours of these; from orangey- through tanned- to pale-flesh, but it's worth
noting that unless you're a box-completeist, you're always better trying to get
your hands on the larger chariot or 'Egyptian Cavalry' sets (1503, 1603 or 2503) as you don't always
get all the poses in the smaller box (1803).
And many thanks to Peter for the plastic ones!
