V is for 'Vivid and Great in Style'!

I've had to squeeze this post in here as I found it after I'd written the earlier and later posts today, and I had thought it was published a year or two ago, but was sitting on the desktop in an un-loved corner 'hidden in plain sight', but is referred to in this-afternoon's post!

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!
