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.

H is for How They Come In - June 2021 - 1- Peter

That's it look, 2021 is 'The Past' already! Continuing with the catch-up on last year's donations to the blog, brings us to June, where quite a bit happened while I was busy doing other stuff - only 8 posts in June!

This lot came to the Blogquaters, via Peter Evans, and the obvious object of our attention is the bagged rack-toy branded to a 'Deluxebase' which I suspect is a phantom, with two large 120+mm astronauts, hollow, they are kit-type polystyrene, manufactured in two parts and glued together. I also like the radar which will look good with Mattel 'Star Wars Command' rebel snow-troops!

There were a bunch of the Hing Fat's I think, but I shot a representative sample and put the rest with Peter's previous donation against Blogging them as sets at some point. A Supreme small-scale horse, similar (Polly Pocket knock-off?) type and larger medieval one are all interesting, with several kit figures and a couple of Giant knights.

A nice Cherilea platoon signaller in 60mm tops of the lot, many thanks to Peter, as always, it all finds a place in the whole.
