A is for A Starman Came Calling . . . With Several of His Mates!

Would you believe our blow-moulded friend from Christmas's past is back again in a third (or fourth?) guise, but there's more this year! First found in Primark (checks Tags, it is four!) in blue, then a pearlescent one turned up from Asda, before a red one came unbranded from a charity shop, now we have a surrealistically decorated one, from . . . Poundland I think, or Morrisons, I've forgotten?

 

The electric blue gloves and boots are a bit speculative, but with Musk, Bezos and Branson regularly exercising their penis extensions now, corporate logos and uniforms are making themselves felt on the launch ramps! And that looks like a Morrisons price-label!

Previous three can be found here, a group shot in a year or two, and what colour will we find next, or where?

This then came-in, and it's a proper blown-glass one, an unbranded generic from TKMaxx, also more realistically painted, with silver standing-in for the white of the original moon-shot suits, but, they are baubles, and silver is sort of metallic-white!

 

Another glass one, which I left on the self, and rather regret doing so now, I sort of felt it was a bit mawkish, with the star being held, but it's a bloody Christmas bauble isn't it, and I was probably being a bit stuck-up, so I may see if I can get one in a day or two! Can't honestly remember where I saw it, possibly the big Longacres garden centre in Bagshot, or Haskins near Birdworld on the Bordon road?

 

And then, as a seasonal Brucey-bonus, this joined the stash this evening, picked-up by chance in a gift-shop in Farnham, well, OK, maybe not purely by chance, what else was I looking for in a gift shop, in Farnham! A 'Space Exploration' pencil from Suck UK, with topper AND clinger!
 

The rocket will join all the other mini/micro space-ships and Anderson stuff, while the figure is a fun piece, who, though skilful sculpting, loses little in the positioning of the pencil's shaft-tunnel, for want of a better word! All spacey/Christmassy and out there now!

 

And . . . I'd better do a quick shout-out for the London Toy Soldier Show, tomorrow in Camden, last show in the calender, and, therefore, the last show for several months, I'll be there!
