That's it, box ticked.
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 Brave Busy Book
I mentioned in another post over Christmas
how TKMaxx didn't have the usual pile
of Phidel Busy Books this year, and to be honest, the supply of them has been
dwindling for some time, after trying to scalp a couple of extra-quid per unit,
WHSmith seem to have stopped stocking
them (locally at least) some time ago, and my last few trips to TKMaxx haven't seen any, but I have
managed to pick-up a couple at Charity shops, and this in one of them!Brave, a Disney Pixar movie which - like most of Phidal's choices - has totally passed me by! Not only that, I'm an
old git, it's bound to happen; but I've never heard of it, despite it's having won
lots of awards and sounding like I'd probably enjoy it (?) - I Googled it!
If the Mother turns into a bear (she does!)
I guess the three little cubs are also the 'triplets', who might spoil the
movie for me, I hate the annoying brat/comedy element (Daggit, I'm talking
to you, and you Scrappy Doo, and yes Tweakie!), so three is just too much! But
the mother/bear is a nice sculpt!
Most Phidal
sets have rather naff play mats which consist of stills from the production,
but this could have limited use as a pocket war games mat? Heavy cover, light
cover and a quest/target to defend - the Henge!
