It's a measure of my failure to catch up
with the 'H is for's...', that I'm nearly overtaking the ones still in the queue, as
this little lot from Peter Evans came-in last November and it's October
tomorrow? Heay-ho, let's go!
These are nice, they seem to be copies of Supreme's copies of Esci-ERTL's 1:35th (approximately 52mm) Germans (in Russia, or
'late war') and Russians, but the quality is such that they are probably from
the Supreme tools, for a sub-contractor
in polyethylene, rather than the usual PVC and lacking the paint Supreme gave
theirs?
Papo or Plastoy medieval
horse? I think it's the Papo Mini+
(40mm), two nice 'solid' wrestler characters of unknown origin and a superhero
lady-hero in heroic 54mm, but done as a action-figure with a point of
articulation at her waist, well, technically, hips.
Crazy Candy Factory, not actually a candy container,
but a 'gun-Jeep' with candy in a outer egg, there is a similar one in another
post, still in the queue, which I bought when I visited Peter's home stamping
ground back in 2019, before the world went totally mad, and I know he has
several useful shops for finding this kind of generic or small-maker, traditional
novelty stuff.
Another helicopter, of a common modern
design, which I will have to check against the others as so far about five have
all been slightly different! With which are a handful of Lido Wild West/ACW,
including one of my favourite inky-indigo Union troopers!
Cheers to Peter for what was a nice surprise
in the run-up to last Christmas, especially after the year I'd had, not that
many of us are exactly basking in clover these days . . . boy; it don't rain but
it pours!
