Well, saved July with a quick plethora of
posts over 48-hours, lots going on in real life I won't bore you with; it's
just life and it happens to all of us, but it did mean I just couldn't justify
faffing around with toys on the internet! Although I posted the odd bit
elsewhere, but they require simple uploading to the anonymity of auto-produced
meta-data on the part of the host servers - a Blog actually requires a little actual
work!
But, here we are, bloody August already!
The weather's given us 20 years to live, which is nice, at least we have a
target date now, I knew my '2055' was a bit optimistic when one of the activist
science sites dropped to 2050 a while ago, now we're looking at 2040'ish!
But have any of your neighbours chucked out
their tumble-dryer or dish-washer? Their Kärcher
pressure washer, their four-wheeled gas-powered BBQ? Their fucking-great
4x4-crossover-SUV-utility Truck? No! So we're all going to die - quite soon . .
. might as well enjoy tatty rack-toys while we can!
We actually saw variations of these sets some time ago here, with the same figures, and while these have been in
storage since forever, the older post was ten years ago, so they 9the two
paires of sets) are closer to each-other than to now!
Also there are three F's here; Funtastic, Fun-Tastic and Funtastik
with a 'k', I haven't looked into it properly, but I think we worked out in the
past that the first two are UK (one word) and US (hyphenated) branches of the
same Hong Kong based jobber/shipper (with connections to many other rack-toy importers/carriers),
while the 'k is another second use of the term as branding.
The figures; seen before more than once,
following the Fantastic tag will reacquaint
you with all sorts of polymer tat, including larger pose-counts of these, which
seem to be copies (or just re-packs) of figures also carried by Ja-Ru.
The funniest thing about these is that the
helicopter is a poor copy of the Thomas
the Tank Engine helicopter, or at least I thought it was, I now can't find
it, so it may be another kids license, I've definitely seen it in blue or white
with a face on!
