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.

C is for Creative Converting

Of Clintonville, Wisconsin and Bournemouth, Dorset! No Unicorns here, but if you didn't fancy this morning's offering of eight garishly coloured Unicorns, here eight garishly coloured horsey-pony types!

Of the four Clintonville's listed in Wikiwattsit, this is the second biggest, but at a 4,000+ population somewhat behind Bornemouth in the development stakes! Part of the Hoffmaster Group, they are currently offering 11 catalogues which are mostly party table-ware, so these were probably bought in from China, for a single season, or left to the Bournemouth arm (Creative Party (also UK arm of Anniversary House)) to organise independently - there's nothing like this on their Amazon account either?

Well, without the header-card I only would have had one picture, which still gets the box ticked, but would have been a bit meah! I could have done a T is for Two... with the Unicorns but then I would have been looking for a 'Horsey-Likey' title, despite some of them being actual horses . . . so, having over-thought it to the Nth degree, it had to be two posts!

Courtesy of Peter Evans who picked these up in the Smoke somewhere I think, these are a realistic alternative to fantasy foals, and are of similar size, as with a lot of model animals the scale comparability depends on the age you want to depict, 25mm adults or 50-mil juveniles!

That's them, Creative Converting (et al), available now, out there somewhere and probably also to be found in other packaging - they are similar to stuff by both Henbrandt and D&D I think? Cheers Peter!
