T is for These Llamas are Alpacas!

We've seen Puckator a few times now, solid suppliers of novelty-tat to the gift-shop trade, and Poundland, where I think I found these a year or so ago, little lumps of solid resin in rather garish colours.

The orange one is realistic enough, but the blue would need to go, were you to be thinking of including them in a diorama or wargames force? Presuming they would be Llamas, I thought to check the difference, before posting, and the small ears and fluffy-brows/cheeks suggests that they are actually Alpacas! Being smaller animals, these probably scale-in for 54mm or thereabouts? Fun, done!

Bubblegum Stuff is for Fun Stuff!

First of this year's Toy Fair reports and we're looking at a pile of Llama's! How big the Llama pile is depends upon the dexterity of the players making it . . . except I lied, they aren't Llamas, they're Alpaca's - I'm sure loyal readers are only too aware that Alpacas are cute and cuddly and not much bigger than some Maine Coon cats, while Llamas are the Devil's spawn-units on Earth and will kick you, bite you and spit on you 'till you drown!

This is the thing - Alpaca Stacker, how cool is that? Well, I thought it was, it's better than bloody chairs that's for sure! I didn't familiarise myself with the rules, but I suspect you can get the idea from the pictures! They'd go well with 70mm+ figures, so both the Schleich/Papo types or Playmobil.

The company behind them are Bubblegum Stuff and they seem to be a very small concern (single table and stool type stand, against one of the outer walls of the hall) so support them if you can, the game will make a brilliant present for younger relatives! There's an eco-vibe to a lot of their products although this one is polymer heavy, and they are Alpacas! Not Llamas, with or without pajamas, or is that bananas?
