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.

T is for Tom & Jerry!

Twice in a week would give you the impression the world is awash with Tom & Jerry figurines, but with a few erasers out there somewhere maybe, and the inevitable sticker sheets, this could be about it, with the other day's pencil tops, Corgi's battling carts and the Marx figures we looked at a lo-o-o-o-onng time ago! Top of second image down.

Actually, a quick search on feebleBay reveals lots of Tom & Jerry stuff, of which several are from Kinder and we will look at the 'swoppet' plug-together's (Oh, are they stick-figures?) some other time, but these Kinder solids were to-hand the other day so I took a few quick shots.

All from the same set, we get them picnicking and surfing! Issued in most jurisdictions at various times between 2003 (K) and 2006 (MTG), they aren't particularly uncommon and 'book' at about 3, but check the cake-decoration section (or whatever your trick is for finding stuff) of evilBay for unattributed ones and you'll find them cheaper! They are all two- or three-part clip-together.

Five of eight, I'm missing Tom bar-b-que'ing and both of them weight-lifting, but listing things I'm not showing you is a bit silly isn't it? Listing things someone else had already shown and which I can't show you would be even sillier, huh?!!

Cheers Jan, T&J were a great favorite when I was young, regular slot, early evening, much repeated, I think I've watched Tom being sliced like toast (while squished into the shape of a loaf) a dozen times!
