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.

F is for Follow-Up - MPC GI's

I was putting away all the nice things from Brian Berke, and I found the bag of MPC bits which have come in over the last year or two, and picked one of each, old & new, 54-and-60mm and took a line-up for the family album!
 
I also checked with the original post on the subject, and except for a couple of the above pale-green 54mm's, they are all new colours or poses, or colour of an existing pose, and as I thought, the four darker-olive ones here (from Brian) are all additions!
 
The other day I mentioned the similarity between some of the European gum-premium figures (Americana, Boomer, Dunkin, Mundi, Ola and/or whoever including Montaplex piracies!) bore a close resemblance to the MPC figures, and as you can see - the proof of the pudding is in the eating, or just seeing! Even down to the AT-rocket in the dust/mud by the bazooka-man's knee.
