P is for Poundland's Poured-Polyurethane Polymer Pals

How cool are these? Too cool for 'machine-learning' school, that's for sure! These are also a pound-each (see previous post) and I grabbed all three different ones when I saw them because . . . Paperchase have had proper blown-glass ones (set of three 'boxy' robots) for the last few years and I kept picking them up, checking the price and putting them down again! This year - determined to bite the bullet and purchase them - they don't have them!

But these are very similar and have clearly been based on them, picking up on a trend as cheapie/knock-off rack-toys always have. But as poured PE-resin they are really too heavy for real trees and will even slowly bend the branches of an artificial tree, especially if you have it in the warm or near a fire for the duration of Christmas. But as leery robots they are the biz!

Poundland; via 'MC' right now . . . for a pound! I'm not so keen on the 'crimbo ornamentation', especially on the green one, but at a pound I can't really complain, and it's three new robots into the collection! Often with something like this I would remove the hanger-eye, but as they are robots I think it looks like the old revolving radar thing on 50's 'Pulp' robots, so it can stay.

Berserker's not had much luck with large lumps of resin in the second-half of the year, and this outing is no exception to his continually picking-on more than he can chew - with my help!
