Having mentioned them the other day, in passing, and because their stuff is, if not actually rack-toys, at least within that pocket-money, novelty, touristy branch of the figural tree, I think it's time to clear the queue of the Elate pictures, call it an image dump!
The bulk of it is poured-resin 'touristicas' with a bit of plastic and die-cast in the mix, and the post is blurb-light, as it's all pretty self-explanatory. For some reason they've loaded in reverse again, keeps happening, but there's no narrative here so it doesn't matter . . . the Internet slowly getting worse, like everything else!
Small resin bears.
Bobble heads, no room for them in this collection, unless they are glow-in-the-dark aliens - nobody knows what aliens look like! And the guardsman would probably be allowed in, just because the novelty guardsmen is a side branch with a life of its own!
More resin!
Not so much pencil (or pen-) tops, as jackets or holders for replacement
Biro-ink inserts, again poured resin, and when things like this come into the collection, I saw them off the long body and put them on bases.
Fairies, I know where a few of these ladies hang out, and they are very similar to the
Pucator ones, which we saw here, when they were kicking around, about a decade ago.
Standard tourist fare, we've seen the pencil-sharpener figures (sans pencil sharpeners), at the time of the Queen's death, I bought a set of three, whilst navigating my way from the North bank to the South, avoiding the miles-long, whimpering queue of simple-minded sycophants.
The luck O' the Irish!
Snow-globes/snow-domes (and snow-eggs!) of Edinburgh Castle, Highland pipers &etc...
Nope!
Better! I think we've seen one in the collection now, and if not we've certainly seen several similar beasts, some courtesy of Chris Smith or Peter Evans.
There's a whole lot more to come on these, from this year's early Gift Fair, so I'll try to get them up tomorrow . . . .that's later today now!

I could not tell if the diecast metal postbox was updated to C3?
A C3 money box will be my next search when visiting the UK, hopefully tin.
I might be doing the Autumn Fair, Terra', so I'll look out for any. I find it a bit boxy, with an odd sort of Dalek cut-out!
I saw a news report of the King unveiling his first post box which looked like the EIIR cypher was ground down and his cypher was welded over it. Looking forward to seeing a tin version.
There's a new one in Brighton I think, but it's an all new box, with a weird cut-out below the slot?
