About Me

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.

Ph is for Phidal Phalls Phlat!

It's been fun following Phidal since whenever, and they are mostly fun figures, so hopefully I will continue to do so, but in the best traditions of We Buy This Shit So You Don't Have To, I purchased a couple of the Tattle Tales (see previous post), even though I had a certain sense of foreboding, but not being able to get the Blog up in store to check the previous posts, I had to take a punt . . . for you, Loyal Readers!


My suspicion was that the contents were existing figures from the standard My Busy Book range, and in that I was correct! I can't tell you if another box has another four poses, as the original set they're taken from - which we saw here - had twelve poses?

But yeah, if you've got the older sets, don't get these small ones, they're duplicates, I've checked the Princesses too, and I also bought the Lightyear one, which I haven't even included in this post as we only saw the ten-figure version recently, and you may have worked out the duplication from the box-shot in the previous post . . . So, disappointing, but if they become the norm and start to get new sculpts - I'll let you know!
