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.

B is for Bright Red Bonus!

Getting into the Christmassy spirit with this little charmer, I think this in the third or fourth piece of horse-drawn, washing-power premium we've had here on Small Scale World now, courtesy of Bonux in France, and there's not much to add to what will be on the tag, via the previous posts, so enjoy . . .
 


The horse is a variation of the old Britains Hollow-cast horse which gave us all the Bergan-Airfix-Riesler-Reamsa-F&G horses, but in a less active pose, and the red is almost orange, so I guess 'scarlet' is the term!

Grabbed this from an evilBay auction back in May '21, you can see Bonux issued all sorts of pocket-money stuff, you'd also expect to find on carded rack-toy sets, individually in Christmas cracker, or lucky-bags, or even larger capsules in 'gum-ball' machines. We looked at some of the 'planes way back at the beginning of the Blog, and I keep meaning to track down a couple of the trains to compare with Kinder and Hong Kong's efforts!
