The same week as the bits in the previous-but-one post, had me finding two more charity-shop bags, which was pretty synergetic as you don't often find one, or you find several bags of animals, but two bags of figures, a couple of days apart, was quite unusual!
I seem to remember this was a fiver, so a bit more than twice the other one, and sadly the same problem with brittle early British figures, but they made-up a smaller portion of the lot, while the combination of
Timpo and dodgy Hong Kong
Swoppet copies was obvious.
A quick sort on the hotel table gave this breakdown, nothing exciting, but when you're in a bit of a collecting dessert, any bag of bits to sort gets the archival instinct flowing! And it's all useful stuff with
Britains Swoppet spares, a few usable
Eyes Right bits and other interesting items.
There was also a bag of the modern version of Gogo 'Crazy Bones', but with the weird bases, I really only bought it for the packaging samples, both the green bag things and the blue/purple boxes, I won't subject you to them in detail now, but one day they will need their box-tick moment!
The highlights, three
Timpo Romans, ACW from both sides and different sculpt-generations,
Crescent Mexican clones and a rubber
Swoppet knock-off, not too shabby for five-quid!
Bravo! Nice catch! Lovely plastic bits you have here.
ReplyDeletePure luck Jan, I was kicking around in a hotel for a couple of weeks between homes and happened to score twice a few days apart!
