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.

L est pour le Coffret de Jeu des Navires Captain Video Supersonic Espace. . . Pas!

Pretty sure these are French (They came from France) and might be Alkastap or Alca/Al-Ca Capell (?), but with no other clues I'll tag them with all the usual Captain Video stuff, as they aren't on Alphadrome's plastic check-list yet, although given the amount of my Blog's stuff that little scally has put on there now, it's only a matter of time before he nicks these, only that won't help with an ID, will it?

Seem to be from the original tools, but until I have them side-by-side I can't say for certain, and obviously copies of the Lido Captain Video Supersonic Space Ships seen here before now, but in softer polyethylene, rather than the frangible polystyrene of the originals.
 
I haven't found the fourth, finned-body yet from this source, but did get a duplicate of the most 'space vehicle' version of the other three, although it's more of a wheeled-bomb than a proper 'space tank'!
 
You can see the bright scarlet red matches the equally soft plastic versions of the Captain Video figures which came into the collection ages ago, and have been seen here more than once I think?
