About Me

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.

T is for Toob...no, Make that 'Tub'!

This is a post which has been in 'Draft' for so long I can't remember why I never posted it and/or what I was holding it for? So I'm chucking it up here as a bit of eye-candy, with a view to getting it out of the draft list (currently five), so the total number of posts equals the total number published!

 
Sent to the Blog by Juan Angel (Gog on https://toysfromthepast.blogspot.com/) also ages ago, even more 'ages' ago, so many thanks to him, and is shots of a sealed or at least unopened Comansi 60mm Wild West set, and an early one I think, later ones had a mix of painted and unpainted figures, while these are all painted. You can see cowboys, Native American Indians and Cavalry.

But it's not the earliest as it has a couple of unpainted horses along with a painted one. I might have one of those Comansi Sheriff's badges, from a 40mm set of these I had years ago.

Three tatty Indians which came in a year or two later (we may have seen them in a show report?) which I added to the post, but still didn't text-it-up or publish it, so, well, here they are now, nothing special, but up here at last!
