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.

A is for And Those Pilots . . .

As mentioned earlier . . . well, a few minutes ago, it didn't take long to find the other image!

Here the 'second maker' theory is not so clear, but I believe the one on the far right without painted gloves, but with the much heavier base may be the cloned imposter? It's not made easy by dint of Zang giving, or leaving (?) heavier bases on a couple of theirs?

However, the fact that the two small ones on the left are there, rather helps with the size difference on the sentries seen previously; there seem to have been two tranches or two sets of moulds for both figures?
