About Me

My photo
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.

P is for Puckator - Kensington Olympia

Puckator had a small stand at the Toy Fair this year and I managed to shoot a few figural subjects, mostly of the touristy or pencil-top variety, and I think it was the first time they dipped their toe in the Toy Fair waters, they don't seem to have attracted my attention in previous years?
 
Space novelties and Easter stuff, some of it Funko-likey!
 
Pen tops, pencil tops and highlighter tops!
 
To be honest, these Mr Bean caricatures look more like President [elected free and fair against Russian interference, unlike Trumpy in 2020] Zelenskyy, leader of the illegally invaded [by Russia] Ukraine!
 
Rubber eraser heads!
 
More conventional hard plastic or resin, I think?
 
Paddinton Bear, Mr Bean and London ceremonials, Britain through tourists' eyes!

More to come, much more!
