DOCTOR! DOCTOR! Two More Home-Made Dr.Who Toy Guns

About Me
- Hugh Walter
- 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.

B is for Big Boxed Buccaneer's Black Boat!
There is another pirate ship in this year's
ILAPD (going badley, it's now late Friday, I must go to bed and I'm only on
this third post!), which I actually mentioned a few years ago, but it's still
all over feeBay, and can be found on Amazon under phantom brands Jawseu, Gintdinpu and RAM among
many others!
I got this one from Kandytoys, importers we've had here before now I think, the trick
with these though is that the two crew come in pairs, fortunately the pairs are
constant, but you need to make sure you know which - otherwise identical - set
you're buying!
Mine come with figures not a little reminiscent
of the Disney movies' Davy Jones crew, with a wild-bearded
lobster-claw and rather dim-witted looking chap standing doing not much!
I'd already put the ship with the others in
storage, so grabbed a couple of screen-shots yesterday (Thursday 16th) to A)
give anyone who hasn't seen it in listings half-an-idea as to it's wherewithal,
and B) show the other pair of figures, who are garbed to match the 'good-guys'
from the Pirates of the Caribbean
franchise!
Then I found a better shot of them on
Amazon, but the paint (and sculpting) is so crappy on these two, it may be that
some of these are copies of the others! China huh? No honor among thieves . . .
or pirates!

Bought these Kandy Toys ones this week at the seaside - a variation / combination of figures that you have, seems rather random. https://poundstoreplasticwarriors.wordpress.com/2021/09/18/pirate-ship-play-set-ahoy/
Well . . . feebleBay's clearly following my feed as they sent me a 'final offer' yesterday, on "last one available" despite dozens of sellers offering shed-loads of them!!!! Mostly though you do seem to get one pair or the other (someone on the PW group had the other pair a while ago - I'll wait for them to come-in lose!), but that last pair in the post look to be knock-offs, so who knows the truth!

You do ahve a crossed-pair Mark! You swordsman is definitely a better sculpt/paint than that last one in the post, so someone is knocking them off?
