Of more interest even, is that it will more than likely be a copy of a much older ivory or bone novelty, probably from Japan, or maybe China? Stunning little thing; and much gratitude to Peter Evans for it, and the rest of the lot.
About Me
- Hugh Walter
- 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.

H is for How they Come In - Peter II (NSFW!)
A couple of weeks after the previously seen
parcel had arrived, this little lot turned-up on the doorstep, and there was a
real treat in there! But it really is not safe for a work screen, so if you are
at work, stop now, before you scroll down, I'll put it last!
Nice bunch of odds and sods; some of the Kinder are looked at below, while I shot
the Khaki infantry for the relevant page, and the Lego figure is also in another post, waiting in the queue, indeed I
was pleased to see him here as I couldn't work out why he had no scanned paperwork,
but the answer was he didn't have any in the first place!
Modern, and rather in the style of those 'How to Train Your Dragon' figures we
looked at a while ago, so I think that's who he is!
The Kinder's
included a clip together lizard who's sticky feet allow him to be stuck to a
wall or window, which is fun, reminds me of the hotel we spent our R&R in, in
Kenya, where little 'rainbow-bright' guys would scurry around the suite keeping
us spider and mossie-free, they failed with the mossies mind, I spent a week in
RAF Wroughton with suspected Malaria,
which - technically - I still have . . . an "Unspecified
tropical disease" means I can never give blood again! A small jeep and
a Frozen character were also notable.
The new marking on the khaki-infantry,
there are others in the queue, and while I managed a couple of updates a few
weeks ago, there will be more. The Timpo
copies could be any one of several pirates, while the 'Giant' clone was looked at here.
But this was the pièce de résistance of
the lot, a proper 'stag novelty' rudie-nudie! Ostensively a plastic skull
key-ring, like many others; we've seen a few here over the years, but this one
opens out to become a lady who's lost all her clothes in some epic wardrobe malfunction!
