It wasn't the 2020 show report which got posted, it was a cross-reference to that spotted-dinosaur in the Tobar show report! These are the 2020 London pictures! And it clears up a few of the things already mentioned under the Keycraft Tag label!
Firstly, that the - illustrated on the box - yellow one was there in the stretchy monsters!
Note the mice (green box, top right) were already on the scene in 2020!
I obviously came close to posting the Keycraft report, as I'd scanned the catalogue for this image, if I recall correctly the catalogue was a vast tome rather like some of the old combined Hong Kong Toy Development Council ones. In the style of the mice, with holes in the 'moon' (very small asteroid!) for the stretchy astronauts to weave in and out of!
Likewise with Kittens and a ball of wool, Unicorns and a cloud.
Metallic stretchys, we've seen the similar dinosaurs (below) as part of the stash.
The rack-toys were also carried by
Tobar, without the
Fumfings addition to the card, it was in that guise we saw them here at
Small Scale World previously, and as they may be in the stash, via
Hawking's Bazaar in Basingrad or Camberley, before their demise?
Very-much in the vein of
K&M (
Wild Republic)'s toobs, these are cheapo-dino's from China, and are still in the inventory, indeed, I think they are in both forthcoming posts!
The Dinosaur balls and eggs! In point of fact, the balls are mixed animals, there is a post coming on these, as
Henbrandt, from the 1990's, so we will be covering the whole 'inclusion' range in the fullness of time, although I think we did have a brief look at them back at the start of the blog, including digging a few out of their balls, to find they are teeny-tiny, even over their look in the balls, as the balls have a slightly magnifying effect on the models buried within!
Again, yellow, the obvious colour for the Smiley, was missing from the previous post, but is out there, I think I have one in the Bendy-toy tub, but a vintage one from the 1970's, not this chap? Along with the mini 'emoticon' one, from the capsule toy Brian Berke sent to the blog a few years ago.
Since obtained, Blogged and Tagged, with more images in the Parachute Toy page's queue! And seen in several brandings I think?
Those stretchy dinosaurs, I thought one set (the smaller ones on the right) was the same as the
Henbrandt ones we looked at years ago, but I think they turned out to be subtly different poses. The slightly larger ones can be considered
Keycraft / Fumfings originals, until they turn-up in other branding/s!
There's a possibility that the oddly-spelt
Fumfings sub-brand, is as such, due to the fact that there was a previous
Fun Things, which was part of the 1980'90's marketing of the small-scale
Supreme/SP Toys stuff by the likes of
Ackerman,
Titan and co., in the researching of which, I seem to remember finding the name Fun things had been registered by a jewellers (?) by the 2010's?
