I seem to have had quite a few shelfie sessions this year, we've seen a few, and there are still a couple in the queue, this was some shots I took back at the start of October in Asda, now free of Walmart, but facing a huge debt-constructed black-hole, which seem to have been created by the new-owners using the company as a piggy-bank!
I was seriously tempted by the guardsman, given the number of existing chaps in the 'novelty' sub-zone of the ceremonial stash, but thought four-quid was a bit steep for such a simple toy, and concluded that a picture would suffice!
Equally novelty, these are your bog-standard streachy animals, in some kind of gloop-in-a-bottle, as with all these shelfie shots, taken to help ID the stuff lose, in the future, although they are the sort of thing which will probably get several formats/outings? Here credited to
Toymania.
I think these are new tubs, obviously, there are so many variants of the palm trees out there now, you never know if they've been bought in as make-weights, or if you're just looking at a new packaging of something seen before!
Reasonable sculpts, as I say, probably seen before, and not given the imaginative colourings of some modern dinosaur models, however, there's not many in the tub, and at the origianl £15, far too much? At the reduced £9 a bit better, but still pricey for what you get, there's a post coming on a wildlife set from another store chain, which at £9.99p will be worth a comparison with these.
Again, there's only six or seven animals, in a larger scale, and a lot of 'playability' detritus, but, to be fair, the size of the tub is deceptive in that these were smaller than the usual tubs.
