C is for Chris's Autumn Parcel - Everything Else!

Basically, TV & movie related, Sci-Fi and Fantasy figures and a spaceman who might be a diver (or a skydiver), but who is more spaceman than diver (or skydiver) when compared with the divers who were nearly spacemen (but not skydivers) in the previous post!

Kid's TV! A Paddington pencil-top, I think he's missing a hat, but I might have a spare one somewhere, or a Hong Kong cowboy 'Swoppet' hat in red or blue can suffice! In the middle is a new Pink Panther, while the Big Ears is from a Budgie toy tricycle I think?

A Santa's sleigh, weighed-down with presents; hard polystyrene and hollow, there's a catch-like hole in the front-end which suggests he may have been clipped to something like a musical box, or that there was a deer-team with a T-bar 'key'?

There was going to be some more cake-decoration posts this month, but I think they're going to be pushed back to next year now, especially if I get the Nativities finished first! We'll see how the holiday week goes after tomorrow's cooking!

Fantasy; with a Kellogg's black cauldron figure in the middle, undercoated for painting, he's a home-cast pewter/whitemetal copy, the originals were in typical premium colours! To the left is a Chinese Lord of the Rings knock-off, I think? Again, it went to storage before I'd taken notes or paid attention! With a C.S. Lewis 'Narnia' toy to the right from Disney/Walden, we've seen a couple before here.

A fantasy board game figure on the left, but on the right is a fascinating thing, which has some of the properties of a paperclip, and Chris wondered if it might be the logo/mascot of a hotel or restaurant, and have been used to hold menus or a welcome pack (fire-regulations?) in a  motel-room or something like that?

Does anyone recognise the slightly devilish fantasy warrior type? Equally it might hold dividers together on a board-game so players can't see what's happening on the other side of the board?

We've see these before too - classic Christmas cracker novelty! Not sure if we've seen an elephant, I know I have a bear in orange/yellow, but love this shite! This is the stuff which makes Christmas memories when you're five!

Lik Be's legacy written over two of them, but no LB here! A Marx 'Mystery Spaceship' alien in the less common (?) red, as against the Orange/Green set we saw here, along with a robot sucker and mini-astronaut, and both LB piracies.

Eclectic line-up here, Galoob knock-off called Soldier Force (imported into the US by James Alex Imports, don't know who handled them here?), Acme novelty mini-Autobot and a 'Gumball' pencil-top of an Ultraman, Gatchaman, Battle of the Planets, or Astro Boy character?

A later Autobot/Transformer type key ring, a stylised/deform Dr. Who (last but one?) from a maker I've missed and a Character Options Cyberman make-up this trio of more recent Sci-Fi stuff.

A lead Sci-Fi lady, which I'm hoping Terranova might be able to help us with, as I know he has dealt with some of these 'new production' whitemetal companies, but I don't think she's from the Dan Dare set?

The second one is a rubber/PVC material and a solid, similar to some of Yolanda's stuff but not them, while the third is a Dragon Ball character, possibly Ultimate Gohan?

Half a Tente spaceman from Spain, who will go with the others to find or await his legs, and the Spaceman who might be a diver (or skydiver), he definitely held-on to something with his ring-hands and looks quite modern, but the backpack is not really a SCUBA set, nor a decent life-support system, or a parachute pack?

Should have been in the previous post! The three painted ones up the top are all interesting, one is clearly a casualty from a toy ambulance, but quite a big one, anybody recognise him to ID it? Next to him on the right is a farm type in the New Ray style while the kneeling chap with treasure (?) box may be from a movie-related set?

The ruing guy is actually roller-skating, and looks like various figures from Accoutrements/Archie McFee, but I don't recognise him? The small farm figures are Smart Toys while the babe in flares is probably a Homie? Another of those Chauffeur/Doorman types, and a Marx baby-jesus, which is rather fitting, right now!

Finishing with a rather gruesome trio - for the time of year - I'm afraid, but that's how I shot them and that's the order in which they were cropped/collaged. In the style of Safari, but with heavier painting/weathering and similar to the horrid hags from the aforementioned Accoutrements/Archie McFee but smaller and a harder rubber-like material, they are both a nice surprise and a mystery! Some blind-bag gaming thing maybe; they look like Monsters in my Pocket should have looked like!

Which brings us to the end of Chris's donation, so many, many thanks to him for going to the trouble of putting them all to one side, saving them-up and sending them, I hope you've enjoyed looking at them, and maybe ID'd something in your odd's pile?

I've missed the Blog's birthday again, but this should get us one post from fifth-best year for posting, which is a minor miracle given what's going on in the background! So I'll wish you all a happy Christmas for tomorrow, and be merry!
