Picked this up the other day, it was greenhouse plant ties which kick-started the wider, more regular coverage of the almost timeless bendy-toy novelties here at Snall Scale World a few years ago, something which has lead to mini-micro bendies from Chris, and the discovery of possibly the first bendy on the back of the paperwork from the archive, so it's fitting that the latest instalment is back to gardens, or at least, a garden centre!
There was another in a sort of aqua/turquoise, but I thought the Purple People Eater (
"But now he only eats guitars" Beeeoooowwh!) was the better of the two! The head is a rigid polymer, probably 'propylene, but the body is in the standard bendy-toy construction; a stable PVC-like material, with internal soft-wiring and the little air-holes, a central ball-joint then locates in a socket under the torch-head.
Illumination is bright-enough, modern consumer products tend not to disappoint in the way they could back in the day, how many cycle torches did we get through, it's like they were incapable of lasting five-minutes, whether '
Eveready',
Pifco or
Lucas - The Prince of Darkness!
The legs are long and flexible, and the torch can therefore be set-up to illuminate anything from a very specific angle, and I feel that, while I bought it as a novelty, figural item, with the Blog in mind, I will actually get use out of it, going forwards!
Manufactured by IF LLC of the USA, it might soon be hard to get, as I think the USA just shot itself in both feet after nailing them to the MAGA floorboards, but coming from Brwreakshiteer Britain, it's hard to feel superior at the stupidity of fellow citizens, failed by an education system only interested in churning out consumer/workers, who can just-about tie their own shoelaces.
Lurking lurker lurks!
