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.

EMCE is for Every Mutha's Clearly Exanimate!

I had an interesting chat (more of which later) with the current owner (also originator) of EMCE Toys, back in the Autumn, just before the old Laptop died, and mentioned to him that I had not managed to find the early set 'Zombies vs Zombie Hunters', only to find one a few weeks later! So with the weather changing plans drastically in the last few minutes (the lawn needs it), here's a quickie on that set, by way of a box-ticker.

You can't miss the zombies! I believe these predate the WWII zombies, which were the first of the EMCE products we saw here at Small Scale World, and hopefully we will soon have seen all their output, or mentioned it tangentially.

Like everything, they've been off to storage for a while now, but if my memory serves me well, the count worked out at three-each of five hunters and four each of five zombie sculpts; you need a crowd murmuring their way up the street! That's it, box ticker, EMCE zombies and hunters!
