H is for How They Come In - Two Months Three Parcels!

When I started catching-up with these in the Autumn, we were over a year behind, but with this post we get closer to only six-months behind, and with the ongoing Historex stuff and a couple of other things, I'll try to get fully up-to-date soon . . . ish!

This lovely little lot was sent to the Blog by Peter Evans last August, and you can see the forth colour of robot/transformer - in a cereal premium style - which I mentioned when we looked at Peter's latest donation a few weeks ago, the bags include the Chinese Army-funded Jeunow-Vi!Kondo stuff who've had their own post already (October, they missed RTM!), Russians and medievals from Hing Fat; white with bases, silver - stand on their own two feet! The orangy bag has the Hing Fat Egyptian stuff, which I will compare with the K&S/Safari sets when they come back out of storage.

Peter sent another parcel in September of which the main sample was also added to that Jeunow and Vi!Kondo post linked to above, while various other bits and pieces were included, both vintage (Monogram copies, mini's) and modern - 70mm 'armymen' and vehicle/ships.

Brian also sent a donation to the blog in September*, a couple of the main pieces from the lot having been removed for the canoe project before this shot was taken, but still very useful stuff including a set of the TSR 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century' board game character figures, I know I've got them because we've seen them here before, but these will get a decent painting once I'm settled at the other end - wherever and whenever that is! And because I have plenty of the 'counter' figures, I'll paint-up a few of them at the same time.

* Err . . . email conversation says August, and in time for RTM, where we saw the missing items . . . I'll leave it like this as it gives you some idea of the chaos at SSW Towers, this is the chronological order of the photographs, I must have put Brians to one side for a few weeks before sorting/shooting them?!!

There's also some nice knock-off's of the Mattel MUSCLE figurines, and Wild West from US makers including the earlier Tim-Mee stuff, which I was meaning to do a bigger post on, but managed to forget to take the pictures before they all went to storage, but there are some 'sorting Wild West' shots somewhere! I also got a Mickey Mouse firefighter to share with you!

Also and under the 'seen elsewhere' banner were these delightful Laurel and Hardy cartoon/caricature erasers, who went on the Friend of PW Faceplant group at the time!

Cheers Brain, cheers Peter, all good stuff; gratefully received, shared here and/or otherwise made use of!
