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.

F is for Follow-up - Phidel Busy Princesses!
The stream of Phidal has rather run to a trickle, in part because both WHSmith
and TKMaxx seem to have stopped carrying them, but the website's still up and
running with new titles, there's a Minions one I'm going to keep an eye out
for, along with a Disney Raya set which looks like it will have useful figures,
including Asian ner'do'wells of the Sumurai or PotC pirate type?
Anyway picked this up complete for a quid
in a charity shop the other day, we've seen some of the contents in one of the two previous 'Princesses' set, although
this has a different mix with all ten of the contents being princesses, but the old 'standards' are all present. "3
years and up" - I think that covers me!
From top left to bottom right we have;
Cinderella, Tiana, Merida (seen here in a mixed lot, and as a different sculpt
in her own set, recently), Snow White, Belle, Rapunzel, Mulan, Ariel, Jasmine
and Pocahontas, and as I've pointed out before, some of these will paint-up
nicely for Napoleonic ballrooms, Wild West saloons, Plantation House
garden-parties and etcetera.
