Anyway, that's more ET's and Pavilion in the tag-list!
Ship Shape!

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.

P is for Pavilion - Toy Fair 2022
By way of a continuation of the previous
post, Pavilion were a new name on me
at this year's Toy Fair, a wholesaler, not a manufacturer, so they will only
add to their tag-entry if they exhibit equally interesting stock in future
years, but here's what they are offering this year!
Mostly handling clearance for 'big name'
stuff, including the partwork issuer Eaglemoss
and Dr Collector, a Spanish outfit concentrating
on brand licences, they had an interesting array of stuff on display, but there
are limits with clearance, and as a trade or B2B supplier, of little use to us
beyond the images!
From their small catalogue, you can see Fallout, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters,
Jurassic Park and ET merchandise
on offer, with the ET stuff being the
link with the previous post and on display at the show . . .
. . . where I photographed them (upper
shot) against never seeing them again - which I haven't and I've tried Smyths and the local independent (but
not The Entertainer yet?) - and I can
report they are about the same size as the
LJN and JAR Sales ones
There was also a bunch of ex-Partwork
stuff, but the problem here is that the clearance tends to have limited scope,
being those commoner figures (issues 1, 2 & 3, or the issue following a
switch to subscription only, or a price-rise - with longer series) or
side-issues; mail-away's and the like, separate to the actual partwork.
