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.

F is for Fearsome Phidals - and a Walmart!

More from Brian B now, and while I'm no fan of a certain squeaky mouse, I realise that some of you are fans of him and his gang, while I keep saying it's all got to appear here eventually, and this is definitely the day for them!

Latest tranche of Phidal releases includes this seasonally themed set. I don't know if it's available in the UK as I haven't managed a trip to TKMaxx for a while now, but it's out there on the Internet wherever you are, I'm sure!

Brian shot this close-up of the set's contents, then went back to the store and took three more shots with a good shake in-between takes . . .

Which leaves us indentifying Mickey as Dracula, Minnie and Daisy as witches/wizards (?), Figaro as himself (you don't mess with a cat), Goofy probably trying to be Frankenstein's Monster, but without the neck-bolt tropes, really also being himself! One of the mouse cousins (Morty?) is a ghost, Pluto has been given a skeleton jumpsuit, and Donald is in a devil-suit, while a more anonymous bat and pumpkin take the set total to ten!

Brain also shot this Disney Encanto figure set in Walmart, I've not encountered it (as a cinematic production) so knew nothing about it, but a quick Google-search filled me on the magical abilities behind the story, so a worthy addition to a Halloween post!

Many thanks again to Mr. Berke.
