About Me

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.

News, Views Etc . . . SCS Direct

Looking for something else the other day (current Supreme stuff!) I noticed SCS Direct have a new set out, a variation of an old set and new formats of existing sets, so this is a quick update with all Amazon/SCS Direct publicity images.

10 Figures; Astronauts; Big Bucket Of Zombies; Dinosaurs; Fantasy Figures; Fantasy Monsters; Glow In The Dark; Glow Zombies Playset; Glow-in-the-dark; Monster Figures; Monsters; SCS Astronauts; SCS Dinosaurs; SCS Direct; SCS Fantasy Monsters; SCS Monsters; SCS Toob; SCS Zombies; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; WD; Wicked Duals; Zombies;
The zombie set is now available in glow-in-the-dark green polymer, this is the large tube with 98 figures, so worth getting together with a  couple of mates and sharing out the contents, but if I remember rightly, this was one of the less evenly distributed pose-count sets, but with only the one colour, there should be enough for two or three of you to get at least one of each? Poor image but you get the idea!

10 Figures; Astronauts; Big Bucket Of Zombies; Dinosaurs; Fantasy Figures; Fantasy Monsters; Glow In The Dark; Glow Zombies Playset; Glow-in-the-dark; Monster Figures; Monsters; SCS Astronauts; SCS Dinosaurs; SCS Direct; SCS Fantasy Monsters; SCS Monsters; SCS Toob; SCS Zombies; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; WD; Wicked Duals; Zombies;
They are now offering a set of dinosaurs under the Wicked Duels / WD brand-mark, only ten poses, they are 'size scale', i.e. no particular scale, all around the same size and no Dimetrodon, so they can sodding wait! They also come in the larger tubes or as a set of ten in a new, smaller packaging.

NASA style astronauts are also new, it looks like the accessories (shuttle, satellite and rock) are limited in number per set, but they aren't the more important element if you're a figure collector, but to be honest the figures are not terribly inspiring sculpts either. Nice touch are the pair (man and woman) with their helmets off.

The new smaller-format idea has been extended to the previously-seen monster and fantasy creature sets, again with one of each you're getting what may not be a consistent half-and-half as far as the two shades of grey go.

None of these (above) seem to be currently available, direct from UK importers, yet, but some of the US / China sources probably ship if you can bear the postage and shipping charges; I'll wait!
