H is for How They Come In - November 2021

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!
