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 - Comansi Space

Very-much following up on this old post, a few more have come-in over the last year or so, and we're gonnarave a quick shufftie at 'em!

On the previous occasion they were all the later unpainted production, while today's are all earlier painted figures and these four came in loose, and, a bit like the Lik Be figures, they are that half-NASA, half 'spacemen' type which is sometimes harder for me to get my brain around! But the amount of weaponry leaves them in the spacemen camp! And as you can see -  a high spacewoman count!
 
A rather naff TV tie-in was this card, and it's ONLY a card, the contents are the same-old 'OVNI' (UFO) figures from Comansi, and indeed, as a similarly painted/quality sample of four, the loose figures may be from one of these sets, as you do get four figures!

As you can see, these, the contents, are very similar to the loose sample, with a duplicate pink-lady, or at least I think she's a lady, the guys are so effeminate and lipsticked-up it's hard to tell who's what, and nothing wrong with that, but I see a future where we all have to wear a badge just so people know how to address us without insulting, and/or whether they can hit-on us, or not!

Pink . . . Person, from both sides, that's it, pretty much the same Tags as last time, no monsters, no aliens and no Thunderbirds, just the space people pretending to be Battle of the Planets characters, heading for the discotheque!
 
And now I'm off for a shower and an early night, because . . . it's the London Toy Soldier Show in the morning!
