As last, another image dump, but many more figural items on display, this year. With Scotland and Wales having a bigger presence in the various lines, and Paddington putting in an appearance!
Poured resin
Those non-sharpening pencil sharpeners again!
Not for the collection, but could interest someone? Christmas trees?
I've seen a boxing Kangaroo in the last few days, don't know if it was
Elgate (didn't look), but they are a bit naff, fun for kids though, which is the main function of novelties!
Nothing of the 'piper' about them, just Guardsman on decorated pens!
Roman big 'ed!
Keyrings, might be one of the new soft/foamed rubbers? Rather in the style of the old Xandria keyrings from the Netherlands, but modern and made in China.
Metal keyrings, if I see the guardsman, I'll grab one for that novelty stash, but the rest can stay on the peg, being more bottle-opener than figural!
Egg-cups!
The resin parade again, and more egg-cups.
A 'Photoclip', what the novelty industry calls a place-name holder, when everybody likely to buy place-name holders have bought a set (or two!) of place-name holders! Also, selling them singly, results in a higher profit-margin per unit . . . and more packaging for a planet which just hasn't seen enough packaging yet.
The resin bears!
All, also seen before!
The big-heads have been replaced with rubber Leprechaun keyrings.
Nessie - die-cast Mazak/Zamak
Scottie-dogs and a bear!
Close-ups of the snow 'eggs', I think the thinner one is manufactured from poured-resin, the chubby chap may be plastic or a synthetic rubber compound?
Various Welsh Dragons in die-cast alloy or resin, mostly smallish, baby 'Game of Thrones' dragons (the die-casts), the larger poured-resin examples could be useful for Role Play, or fans of the Nottingham Mafia system.
Mostly novelty stuff and pretty ephemeral, but, that's given Elgate a decent presence in the Tag list, and covered most of what they have, which may be of interest, currently, but they're not the only purveyors of this kind of stuff, and we'll look at another soon.

YES! The cruet set has the King's cypher that looks like it's welded over his Mum's!
I hadn't noticed! Well, I'm up in London some time in the next week or two, I'll look out for one for you, and check the cypher!
