T is for Typical!

You wait ages for an LB post and then two come along together! Further to the other day's finds; I saw some knock-off 'sucker-jigglers' going cheap and they arrived this morning, while I also scanned the Culpitt's catalogue entry for 1985.

These are similar to those sold as 'Moon Platoon' by Imperial, see image below, and are the more colourful version of the plain Hong Kong-marked ones (no logo) which I've been after for a while, so well pleased to grab them.

Taken from an Internet auction the above example has some of the more muted ones I already had, and is all robots, while the five additions are brightly-bright and has two astronauts.

I also scanned the Culpitt catalogue from 1985, the 60mm's are as I found them in North Camp's balloon/party shop (can't remember the name, but it's long-defunct anyway) back in . . . err . . . sometime between Autumn 1997 and about 2001/2? The white 'NASA' figures which should be contemporary aren't listed, but may have joined the catalogue later or been phased out already, only the robots are shown in the smaller size, only the spacemen in the larger, they all hung around for ages in bakers and cook-shop's anyway!

Listings
BV 5336 - Large Silver Spacemen
V5217 - Small Assorted Space Figures

    "Moon Platoon' by Imperial" Get out, these blokes are hard to come by.

    They remind me of the village people.

    Are they scented? I couldn't imagine myself having to smell them all day long.

    No scent Jan, vague stink of silicon-rubber if you stick them under your nose!
