A is for Among Us . . . Among Us!

Sticking with blind-bag/capsule toy stuff for a bit, we come to another new line spotted in The Works, I actually bought one a while ago with yesterday's dinosaur sextet, but grabbed another on Saturday with this morning's Dino' capsules. We've previously seen Fungus Among Us, well now Among Us are among us!

From a PC/Platform game, Among Us - I had to look it up! From Wikipedia; "Among Us is a 2018 online multiplayer social deduction game developed and published by American game studio Innersloth", while a quick Google-search reveals dozens of different characters/configuration from several toy lines.

These are from Toikido (geddit? Toy Kiddo!), credited to Sinco Creations (design?) and Singleton Trading (distribution?), they are pretty standard lumps of a modern rubberised plastic, PVC-replacement in a blobby style like Crazy-Bones or similar 'fad' collectables and are around 40mm. This pair will do me for now, they will be bagged-up, in handfuls, in Charity Shops, in a year or two, for very little gelt!

The second purchase was the last in the box so the ladies let me have the box as I had the three capsules as well! I have no idea why the green one has a tail instead of legs, giving it a  slug-like countenance, but it's not an imposter, my brief read of Wikipedia makes it clear Imposters are nominated by the games algorithm after the characters have been chosen by the players . . . I think! Although the bag suggests an extra 'blind' figure which will be identifiable as an 'Imposter'?

E is for Egg Soldiers But Not Toast!

Or at least they are in a folder marked Egg Soldiers and have been edited as the above title for some time san's blurb, but, now I've looked them up, the blurb is here to say they aren't eggs, they're 'Rabbids', geddit? Like rabbits but . . . well, you know all these 'Art Figures; and 'Designer Toys' it all seems to be about death, un-death, disease and/or nihilism!

Anywhoos - These are they! They do look like eggs, and there is an obvious egg-soldiers joke in there for anyone to spot (which is why the title stands), but sadly out of all the Raving Rabbids issued (and they are legion) these happen to be the only two who's ears are hidden by headdress! But Rabbids they are.

A Rabbid Guardsman and a Rabbid Cossack from UBI Art, part of the whole Ubisoft empire, I'm not sure if they are straight-to-store 'art toys' or some sort of game-related characters, my bad, but I don't game and I don't follow designer figures and  . . . I don't care!

God knows what they cost new, but like the Un-Disney-Dunny-Bunny-Bare-Bear-Tiger thing a few Christmases ago, these were among others in a charity-shop pound-bag, and were going to post on Easter Sunday, but have been moved now I know they're not egg-soldiers; bloody imposters!
