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.

E is for Exhalenate! Exhalenate! You. Will. Exhalenate!

A bit of a Brucey Bonus, Getretro didn't have anything on display at the NEC which interested me, or wasn't in the older shots seen earlier (previous post), but they did have this floating on high;
 
It's a near-lifesize, inflatable/blow-up Dalek! How cool is that?
 
We may have seen this before, I might have shot it at the London Toy fair a few years ago? But it's not actually in Getretro's inventory any more, being instead their mascot, which they place on the roof-bars of their trade-stands. Wantone!
