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.

U is for Untitled!

These came in a mixed lot from Peter Evans, back in 2023, and I've left them in the eggs, because they're way outside my remit, being sort of 3-inch action figures, and they may prove useful for little people's presents, or future swaps against something the collection/blog need more?

Issued/carried/released/commissioned by Simba, they will be the price-bracket above a Kinder egg, I'd imagine, and the figures will be based on some better-known Western figures. They look to be somewhere between Action Jackson and Playmobile.

Each comes with a useful number of accessories, but then Action Figures were only ever that mid-ground between swoppets and Action Man! And I'll tag them ABS and Propylene, as they are likely one or the other! Simba's larger capsule toys, box ticked, many thanks to Peter.
