T is for Two - Current Production, 'Real' Rack Toys

The driving force behind the origins of Rack Toy Month (RTM), was the phenomena of August being the quiet month , the slow news month, the hot humid month when one hasn't always got the energy or inclination for deeper articles requiring much research &etc, coupled with a seasonal drop-off in readers/traffic as people go away . . . well; this year there seem to be more people at home, but circumstances have meant the year's not 'panning out' in any way, and I've not been here so much!

Another reason behind the RTM thing was that it allowed me to clear some of the less salubrious stuff, which has some validity, but might not be of interest to all, and this post is one of those!

99p Stores; Action Figures; Aircraft; Blister Pack; Bottle Bag; Carded Toys; Combat Set; Current Production; Fighter Jet; Funrise; Funtastic; GE; Last Line Of Defence; Plastic Warrior magazine; PMS; Poundland; Pull-Cord Action; Rack Toy Month; Rack Toys; Red Deer; RTM; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; T is for Two; Top Toys;
Both donated by Peter Evans of PlasticWarrior magazine, this will probably go-on to charity, as I have little use and less space for a large, pull-cord motor, carpet-toy, warplane!

But don't think it's not appreciated though, a second set of images are on the dongle for eventual inclusion on the A-Z Blog entry; the bigger-picture being of import . . . it is quite literally - all grist to the mill. And PMS have shown more valid stuff in the past, so will have an importance in the final picture of the 'whole'.

While this is also lacking figures, apart from a simplified action-figure knock-off who probably won't interest loyal readers of the Blog (I stand to be corrected if this is your 'thing' and you follow the Blog!).

Red Deer are currently to be found in independent general stores, although it's almost certainly a phantom brand, however wholesaler-invented rather than retailer-invented, the contents included stuff previously seen in other branding by both Poundland (GE or Funrise) and the now defunct 99p Stores (the above PMS for instance, or Top Toys), actually; the tank - I think - was previously seen carded by Funtastic in Pounland?

Anyway, both out there now, and many thanks to Peter for sending them, another rack-toy box, ticked!
