As you can see I got on in-time, but the six posts which were supposed to publish Sat-Sun., have been held so that's rather it for RTM, now, but there's always more to come here!
All these are contributions from
(alphabetically) Brain Berke, Chris Smith. Peter Evans and Theo van der
Weerden, and while the rest have gone on the other page, the section for
'poopatroopers' hasn't been edited or uploaded yet, so it can go here!
These are from Imperial, via Brian Berke over 'The Pond' and while they (Imperial) were responsible for the
original Poopa-Troopers, these are
slightly different, however, they are not the clones we've seen in BJ, Jaru
and Kandy Toys colours in the last
few years, they are if anything closer to the Imperial originals.
Also they are only a small part of a larger
set of summer garden/beach stuff, although that bat could be used to get some
height on the sky divers!
These four on the other hand have published
to update the relevant sections of the Parachute figures page. That's
got novelty paratroopers up before the end of RTM, and we'll be on to other
things as the Autumn gets a grip, looks like we're in for a hard'ish Winter!

I remember getting one of these toys at a party as a child. I don't think anyone could actually get the parachutes to really open properly after throwing them in the air.
We used to throw them out of the bedroom window . . . where they inevitably fell in an old rose bush . . shrub . . . thicket! Which would shred you as you tried to get it back!
You don't see roses like that anymore? There were two, one was ginger-stemmed and had millions of fine needles, the other was normal rose green with thorns like eagles talons and they both grew in clumps like bamboo - about seven or eight feet, they were lethal, but you don't see them anymore . . . weird!
