About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

C is for Culpitt's Cake Characters

We did look at one of these ages ago I think, there was a pre-'how they come in' trope post on some stuff I had found in a cake decorators which closed a few months later here in the 'Glass Menagerie' as some call our mini-mall; the Hart Shopping Centre, currently 80% closed and about 40% unoccupied long before Covid!

Anyway, after I found that Goofy (for it was he!), I went through all the vinyl's (which tend to pile-up in a TBS box [To Be Sorted]) and found two more, then I picked up another three the other day, with a duplicate, so here's the Culpitt's take on Schleich/Papp/Heimo-Bully type PVC Disney Characters.

Cake Decoration; Cake Decoration Figures; Cake Decorations; Culpitt; Culpitt Cake Decorations; Culpitt's; Culpitt's Cake Decorations; Culpitt's Disney; Disney; Disney Cake Decorations; Donald Duck; Football Mickey; Goofy; Micky Mouse; Minnie Mouse; Pluto; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com;

Minnie, Micky x2, Goofy and Donald, I have no idea how many there were, or who made them, they could be Hong Kong, or contract manufactured by any of the above named, or Comics Spain, Plastoy or some as yet nameless, local concern? Remember someone round 'er ran the Timpo cat-pair tool in PVC? And with two Mickey's we might be looking at two sets of four main characters, giving from a minimum of eight, up to twelve or more sculpts?

That's a few of them anyway!
