T is for Two - Popular Personality Pencil Tops

All at sixes and nines this week, so things have slipped slightly, but I fired these off earlier tonight while shooting other stuff, intending to get them up here as a quickie, which I've done!

Tom & Jerry! They are the same size thought, unlike Marx's large size TV 'Tinykin' types, but still fun, sculpts don't quite capture them accurately either, which initially lead me to wonder if they might be unlicensed knock-offs, but they have the MGM mark, and there aren't so many Tom & Jerry items out there (now owned by Warner Bros.), therefore a nice addition to the oeuvre!

Turns out We saw a packeted set here!

These are knock-offs I think; there are Wizard and Punk Smurfs, but they don't look like these two, however plastic colour screams 'We're Smurfs; buy us if you like Smurfs', so we don't like, horrid little bootleg nasties - yah, boo, sucks to you, fake Smurfs!
