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.

D is for Der's Morrr!

Is this a third, or fourth return? The sample which was, once, two duplicate spacemen, keeps growing! At the recent Sandown Park show, Isaac gave me a tin of stuff for free (the rest will be in the eventual show report!) as part of a deal on some other figures, and he did so, I think, partly because I got most excited about what was, probably, to him, the nastiest thing in there, but Loyal Readers know me by now, and what I was excited about was this beauty;
 
It's another of the HF, jumping, hollow-backed, novelty takes on the Lik Be (that's LB of course) robot/aliens, which makes three now, along with the spaceman, who has appeared as the same ray-pistol equipped 'officer', but in different colours, which means the answer to one of my earlier questions; there may be up to, or more than six sculpts so pirated, but maybe only the one spaceman?
 
Earlier finds/donations were still get-at-able, so here's a group shot, remember the blue one only still exists due to the vast quantity of baking powder and superglue I shoved in his cavity! Added to this is the Surrender robot in another colour and the pink and red spacemen! Eight examples in four poses.

Yeah, well, now we've got three monsters, you rather hope there are three spacemen, but so far we have four in the same pose, so it may turn out, in a decade or so (the speed they are turning-up!), that's it's five monsters and one spaceman, or maybe four and two . . . only time will tell, and you've found three of them!
