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.

Y is for Yabba-Dabba-Doo!

Here’s something nice for the festive season which doesn't include guns and stuff! Not that I don't post military stuff over Christmas but I like to try and keep it light, and it's a good excuse to Blog some of the more esoteric novelty stuff, and this is pretty esoteric and definitely a novelty!

Kohner's window (and door!) tray of the Flintstone Circus; they have grabby hands and feet giving them the stack-ability of Kleeware (and other)'s clownsand policemen, but with a circular grip allowing for stunts!

Nine main characters and a policeman in three colours of a pretty bog-standard, softish, polyethylene and while being semi-round/semi-flat caricatures, or at least accurate renditions of their cartoon personas, are also about 54/60mm, although with the kids and pets all the same size, it's really 'no scale'!

There also a bunch of chocolate-brown 'circus equipment' being half gymnasium stuff and half tricks with two drum plinths of the type you might have expected a man with a whip to be trying to get lions, tigers or elephants to stand on! The weightlifters barbell is made - appropriately - with rocks on either end, while the stool and a trapeze frame are in clip-together parts.

I only took one shot and it clearly looked better to the naked eye! It's a single pile of everything and everyone! So a bit of a box ticker and as they are now in storage; I will try to remember we need to return to them; in a year or two!
