Right, I seem to have found my mojo, if only temporarily (there's often a hiatus before Rack Toy Month!), so I have a plan . . .
Actually the plan for right now was to be in Camden this afternoon, but that didn't happen, if you made it, I hope you had a good time and found nice things, I'm contemplating telling the Pentagon Natwest's head office is a hive of Iranian plotters
. . . and we're going to get all the stuff from Peter Evans, several donations, some car-booty and gifts, and all the stuff from Chris Smith's huge parcel, published over the next few days, twined by theme! Staring with the civilians;
We've seen something similar from
Keycraft (dinosaurs) and
HTI (various), while these Dancers are from
AMO Toys in Denmark (as importers/source), and looking at the back of the pack Ninjas, Soldiers, Wrestlers and Monsters are out there somewhere. I think it's supposed to be pronounced wall'ee, to rhyme with crawly, rather than as my childhood nickname!
Speaking of wrestlers, these
WWE ink-stampers, are very-much in the same vein as the
Fortnight,
Gang Beast and
Ninja Turtle stampers currently out there.
Partial contents of a table football game, you get different types of table football, flicky, leaver kick, sprung figures, horizontal bars (mini 'fussball'), and magnetic wands, from whence these have washed up here!
There's a post on kicking footballers in the medium queue, and this guy joins a blue one we've seen recently, they're
Peter Pan in origin, from the
Cup Final game.
We've seen the
Mousetrap diver before I think, but possibly in another colour, and older sculpt, he seems to have had a makeover, the torso to the left is one I've alluded to several times and needs to be sorted out with all the other sets of four or six primary-coloured board game figural, while I suspect the
C3PO is a game playing piece as well, but I don't know the game offhand? It's not one of several
Monopoly versions, nor is it the
Star Wars Risk, so, any ideas?
A group of nicely done, but probably quite recent or even contemporary, road workers, and a diver who at first glance looks like the
Hing Fat ones, but he's actually a better quality, and may be from a more nameable/recognisable make or brand's set, just I haven't recognised or named it!?
Another modernish road worker on the right, an early, factory painted Jean goose-girl from the farm range, and between them one of those fun gems you find in all these odds and sods, a Hong Kong, reasonable quality copy of an old bisque cake decoration, but in hard polystyrene plastic.
More of the Chinese knock-offs we got sent by the German agent, back at the start of the blog. These are large, O or G-gauge, and unlike the previously seen stuff, have locating pins on their feet.
The smaller chaps here ARE the
Hing Fat ones, while the larger bloke has probably been tied to a carded set in the archive, but likely a generic? And the reason they're down here, is because these are from the latest lot, were shot months after the others and for speed, I'm loading them as they sit in the folders!
Three of the
Teamsterz road menders, an older one in sea-green (actually, probably a fireman), an unknown race-team mechanic or garage accessory and the small one may be that group of
Pioneer-Dacron-Realtoy stuff?
Another trio of
Teamsterz (
HTI), a cheapo rack-toy in brown we may have seen/ID'd before, and another of the
Tesco-Woolie's et al ones, all building up for the firefighter page . . . which will happen!
Another of the Hong Kong fatty footballers, pencil-top rather than key-ring this time, and a new pose and/or colours I think, a large shepherd of the
ELC type and a rather crude driver, probably from a farm tractor, from the stance?
All good stuff, and many thanks to Peter for spotting, accruing and/or saving it.
