Or, at least, pocket-money stuff I picked up in a gift shop the other day! So, to Stansted Mountfitchet, from whence the Airport down the road took its name, and more on that visit in subsequent posts, but specifically, on the efficacy of the gift shop for toy and model figure collectors.
A soft, silicon-rubber skeleton in slime, and another coffin for the sub-collection of novelty coffins! This one made/issued in the UK by
Whitehouse Leisure International of Dublin and err . . . Basildon! It's a bit of fun and I think we've seen the 54mm'ish figurine, separately, in bags, previously?
Poured-resin pencil tops from
Elgate, a name which has appeared in the Tag List a couple of times, but on whom there are a couple of more substantial posts in the Toy Fair/trade-show reports queue, which may have these too! Approximately 40mm if you saw them carefully off their, err . . . oil drums!
Glow-in-the-dark aliens, again a similar one [actually, the earless one with lizard eyes on the back of the card] is currently in the queue, only found on Thursday (in Cranleigh Post Office!), this one is also
Whitehouse (the other is under
Kandytoys), and while a caricature type big-head/super deform, will add to the growing sidebar of glow-in-the-dark aliens! His (or her . . . its?) oil-drum has already gone to charity!

And the alien said, "behold I am the light of the world, all who look upon me will die". No really, he is kind of lovely, in a plastics kinda way.
Literally Jan, in every sense of the word, his cousin will appear here any day soon! Big hands!

First of all great to see you back. I should have spent an extra hour or so at the PW show. After more than 12 years absence, it was a bit overwheming and I suppose I bought too many figures in Texas and was afraod I wpuld buy too many in London that I would have too many to paint.
Specifically on "rack toys"...I cant seem to find any anywhere. The usual outlets like filling stations and Poundland have dried up. and likewise the seaside shops.
Strange....John
I've still got the PW plunder posts to do, John! Yeah, I haven't found any for a while, got some on a garden centre a few months ago, hope to et something nearer Halloween, but doubt it! Still, it's an excuse to do all the supermarkets!
