About Me

My photo
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.

L is for the Little Tramp

Couple of figures which have come in over the last few years, one possibly from Peter Evans, the other found by me or Chris? I give you Sir Charles Spencer 'Charlie' Chaplin KBE, actor, filmmaker, and composer.

One of the few who successfully transitioned from the silent era to the speakies, lived to a ripe old age, and is presented here as a resin caricature and a PVC figure around 60mm, which might be marked but I forgot to note any markings!
