About Me

My photo
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.

D is for Dino Army . . .

. . . 'SUPER' Dino Army indeed and no less! This is exactly what Rack Toy Month is all about - you sat on the beach in some gated hellhole in Morocco, reading the latest Jack Reacher while I post quality, quality shite!

Peter Evans, roving reporter for Plastic Warrior magazine and finder of good things, sent this a few weeks ago, and it's fun! Two heavily-armed dinosaurs for what was a pound more than the The Works £3 (previous post), but they are larger dinosaurs! And the thing is, lack of ammunition supply/feed notwithstanding; a bit of paint and a scratch-built harness/crew and these would be fine on a fantasy/sci-fi gaming table?

T-Rex packin' heat, clearly a standard chinasaur, with larger weapons (probably, previously seen on action-figure rack-toy vehicles?), attached with little self-tapping screws, straight through the flesh, ladies and gentlemen! From blow j . . . err . . . B and J Distribution and in a budget-brand outlet near you, now!

Triceratops gets a bank of multiple-rocket launching-units (of the sort favoured by giant battle suit/robot cartoons) up his jacksie, to go with his big-guns! "Is that a giant machine-gun on your flank or are you just pleased to see me" as the actress said to the Bishop!

I suspect a dip in a bowl of hot water will all but close the holes up? And while I've dubbed him T-Rex, is he more of an Allosaurus in overall looks . . . I'll leave that to the taxonomists! Cheers Peter . . . Super Dino Army; fun thing!

I'd shot these shelfies in TKMaxx a couple of days earlier, with RTM in mind, so synergy gets them up here, what can I say . . . fun for kids! Dino Dash and Racing Dinos - both by Playtek, there are subtle differences between the under-trucks in either set, but you can see with the far-left in one set and the far right in the other, that they are the same over-cover head, in different colours.
