E is for Erazeoo

I know! Some of them are so bad I'm shocked I get away with it! Claimed by RSW International and sub-branded to Royle Kids [sic] 'Animal Antics', these were a gift from Peter Evans in his end-of May parcel to the Blog, so many thanks to him.

Of interest to us as they (or the Hippo) are the same as the Hippo we saw from Tiger Stores (now Flying Tiger) a couple of [six!] years ago here at Small Scale World, so clearly a re-branding or separate contract. I was going to stack the elephant on the other two, but all three boxes are different sizes! I look for it but can't find it so it's probably in a mixed round-up or News, Views . . . ?

Close-ups; The Elephant is the weakest, being an odd shape really, more African than Asian and with short but fat tusks which can't be excused by production limits as the Hippo has a nice-enough and thinner tail?

But they are what they are, which -for the most part - is nice sculpts of animals you probably wouldn't want to actually use as erasers, so novelties! All grist to the mill - and thanks again to Peter.
