S is for Sparkle Dream Land . . . of Course!

This was penciled-in for a Halloween post but I realised it just wasn't  grown-up enough for Halloween, so it can go here as a fluffy seasonal box-ticker! I present; the recent 'pink & purple' fantasy playset from Blue Box.

A tub rather than a tube . . . or a bucket? The sort of thing you get bulk peanuts in at Christmas anyway! Pegasusid-Unicorns (Pegusused, Pegususide, Pegususified?), Dragons and Fairies with a few scenics and all in a fetching palate of fairy-cake icing colours! the lid makes a magic-pool.

This was supposed to be one of everything from both sides . . . so two-of-everything Hugh! But I duplicated one set of wings and left the other set out so while it's a usful image it's alsoa complete fail!

Missing wings are on the left! The wings clip-on, saddle-fashion, like divers/swimmers nose-bridges and can be chopped and changed but only among these purple sculpts, as the pinks have saddlery in the way (but no riders) and the foals  have their own nascent wings integrally-sculpted on their backs.

The grey folk (who are also pink or purple!) could actually paint-up really well, under the plastic colours are three nice sculpts with some fine detail, and naturalistic posing, my favourite is probably the more casually standing lady-fairy on the right.

I've kept these two pieces along with all the fancy park-fencing! I thought the arch might make a useful photo-frame in the future, while a bridge is a bridge is a bridge!

But this went to charity; it's too basic a moulding and has no redeeming features! I guess the slide is added play-value for the age-group this set will be aimed at, but, well, yeah! That's the Blue Box 'Sparkle Dream Land'.
