Lion toys from . . . I can't remember when
now, I think I've mentioned it on another visit to the Catalogue, about 1984 I
think? Maybe 1980? Anyway, the bike's tool is still around, we saw them in
newer packaging a couple of year's ago, but of more interest are the Corgi
copies of race official and camera-man.
Lego! I was holding this for a better shot,
but this post is a Picasa clearer, so they've been shoe-horned in to get them
off the laptop. Note (if you were following the Blog eleven years ago) the
conversion to a German soldier on a DKW
is still waiting for arms, handlebars and . . . . paint!
I will try to re-shoot them separately (and
better) as comparisons with the scooter rider in the Airfix Civilians set
over on that Blog one day?
Not motorised, but as there were bicycles
in the previous shot, they can fit here, also we have seen them before I think,
but I don't always remember what's what, so shot them again (or just had some
shots left over) as I think the red one is a new colour?
Robo-motorbike-cop! There's no indication
this chap from Lik Be is a policeman
or any other kind of law-enforcement or security operative, but I've always
thought of him that way! He could just as easily have a hose and a buffer in
his hand sockets for cleaning cars "Would you like wax with that Sir?",
but I like to think they are a siren-horn and a 'needle-gun'!
Branded to Hunson and shipped into the 'States by JPW, these were sent to the Blog by Brian Berke and look to be 3/4
inch Action Figure sized? Four colours with a possible shade variation of the
green - but including it would have ruined the collage!
I can't remember if we've seen one of
these, both of them or neither? More board game flats anyway! The one on the
left looks a bit like the Waddington's
one from those post-war versions of Monopoly
(see recently here at Small Scale World), but is a softer lead/whitemetal flat,
while the other one (with a short-shot suffering front wheel - bouncy-bouncy!)
is probably from a much earlier Edwardian game from between the wars?
Similar to the green one
By way of a follow-up to a motorcycle ChrisSmith donated to the Blog a year ago, but only in its size, and the stabiliser
wheels! Classic rack toy, and it can't have been rare as that rider seems to
have been in every-other rummage tray I've ever looked through!
Speaking of Chris, he sent these as a
follow-up to the unknown copy of a Britains Sheriff's motorcycle we looked at a
while ago, which came from Jeff I think, at Sandown Park, or Gareth - I can't
for the life of me find the post now, so if any loyal readers happen to have
bookmarked it, or know where it is?
Chris not only found the bike and a
complete rider, but he found the accompanying (Spanish) guard and the base of
that figure reveals the truth - Guisval! Obviously they can be used as WWII
Germans, but with a Harley-D and white gloves I think we are actually talking
Franco's Civil Guard, on parade?
These came in a week or two ago, a donation
from Peter Evans, and another Red Deer offering; chunky and fitted with
stabilisers, they are really infant toys (as if most of the rest aren't!), bt
it's all grist to the mill.
Only seen the other day, but I already had
these in the big folder! Home-cast or similar figures, the post was here.
