Another one from Peter Evans's secret
mother-lode of Chinatroop, 'Army Man' rack-toy tat!
Coming from an H&H Distribution here in the UK, and sold in Poundland (I
think?), Peter sent these to the Blog on separate occasions which is why some
ended up hanging around in Picasa to be included in this-afternoon's post which
was meant as a folder-emptying, follow-on from the desert chap in the - now -
previous post this morning!
As I had only written the one line before
abandoning the post last year, I must have had writer's block on what to write
in the intro' and or this image's blurb, both tasks have been accomplished by
the comedy of errors and their explanation so we can move swiftly on to the
contents!
Nearly every rack-toy, no matter how
dismal, will have something of use, whether to war-gamers, modellers or
straight 'collectors' will depend on those contents 'contents', but I kept the two B1
Bombers ('cos there's a whole box of
sub-scale aircraft - which we have dipped into on numerous occasions), the
large packing-crate (it's the sort of thing Jeeps were delivered-in, in WWII!),
the two ammo-boxes (useful props in future photography if no other use), the
marquee-tent (a new variation of older Rado/Kamley
designs) and the tree.
Everything else, from both semi-blind
[window-]bags, went-off to charity with a bunch of similar accessories which
had accrued over time, for onward transit to someone who has Action Figures -
hopefully!
As is often the way with rack-toys, the
artwork offers far more than the inclusions can deliver and both the M16 and the
tree are made out of that rather bitty polymer which breaks easily, but
everything else was a more robust dense polyethylene or polypropylene.
So; some useful stuff with Military Real Sniper, thanks to Peter,
box ticked . . . the rest of the Action Figures will now be publishing
this-afternoon!
