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.

T is for Terra by Battat - 2020

Back to the 2020 Toy fair in London, and what was already a looming global health crisis, if you were paying attention to the news over Christmas, which I was, but funny, with nearly everything else cancelled that year, the Toy fair went ahead as normal and would actually get cancelled the following year, just as the world was coming out of its multiple-lockdowns!
 
And this lot didn't get posted at the time because I'd posted quite a bit in the preceding few years, since Brian Berke brought them to our attention in 2017, and this was (still is, on one level) repetitive of those previous mentions, but let's get it and two smaller updates out of Picasa and the Blog up-to-date on the subject!
 

Giant tubs, or 'buckets'!
 
Various packaging formats.
 
Larger Dinosaurs, nice models.
 



Smaller tubs of smaller figures, with duplicates - early learning target?
 

The wild and domestic animal families are really very good.
 




More Dino's including play sets
I think there were farm play sets' as well.
 

Small Dinosaur set.
 

Further displays.

I can't remember if these were shot on an agents stand, with or without a Battat representative, or on an actual Battat stand, usually I shoot them on other peoples stands, and if they had a stand that yera , it wwas the only year they've done so?
