About Me

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.

S is for Seen Elsewhere - Kinder Figures

Shown on a Facebook group a while back, and time to get them up here and out of Picasa, many of these Kinder figures have been seen here before, in mixed lots, donations or as bit & pieces! But these are all complete, as far as I know, and blurb can be kept to a minimum! These are mostly from the mid-late 1980's or early-mid 1990's.
 
Diver on the left, mostly polystyrene, an RP-sourced archer on the right, in a polyethylene, but they are starting (like a lot of RP stuff) to get brittle now.
 
Three musketeers, also Res.
 
Fencers.
 
American egg-ballers!
 
Alien, also Res Plastics, also getting brittle now, you have to be very careful of the joins.
 
Small-scale astronauts, and their means of locomotion!
 
Panthers, that are pink!
 
Wellingtonian . . . Enemy dragoon, I think?
 
Charley's, one's Kinder (soldier), the other Hong Kong or Italian copy?
 
Speedy Gonzalez!
 
Ice skaters.
 
Different set from the above, same trope!
 
Caricatures.
 
Two from the 1970's on the left, a later caricature figure on the right.
