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.

F is for Fugging-bluddery!

It's Rack Toy Month! It's fugging rack toy month and I totally forgot! To be honest I'm still not really in the mood, but at some point you have to get back on the bloody horse, don't you? Also, I'm not sure what I've even got in the bag for RTM, and I've promised to post a donation first, so, we'll see?
 
But I found these a few months ago in an almost deserted discount store in Borden, so they'll do, for a start . . . Rack Toy Month everybody!
 



Not a cowboy to be seen, I guess their sets had sold first! The slightly thinner copies of the Supreme/SP Toys Wild West, here under the banner of PMS International again, with two Indians and a plastic shrub per-bag, plus one of the previously seen scenic pieces, from the top: Totem Pole, 2 Tee-pee/tipi's, air-burial platform/lookout, and camp fire with tripod and pot.
 
And I think they were about one-fifty each, so proper rack-toy price!

Hello Hugh found the cowboy sets on sale in a PoundStretcher in South London last August with very shiny cowboys, shown on my blog here: https://poundstoreplasticwarriors.wordpress.com/2024/08/08/hi-ho-silver-space-cowboys/

Cheers Mark, I knew they had to be there, I'll give the store a while to restock and try again. We looked at a larger set a while ago which had both in.
