More on Yoga Joes, they've gone psychedelic!
About Me
- Hugh Walter
- 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.

C is for Contribution Fortnight - XIII - Yoga Joes from Brian
Brian shot these in New York (Grand Central
Terminal no less!) before Christmas, and while they have been flagged-up
elsewhere over time, they are still needed to 'tick the box' here at the Smallscaleworld.
Also it's interesting to see both the
packaging - which holds each figure in its specific pose - and the apparent
size of them; they are around 90/100mm, putting them in a different class to
the various civilian sets like Kid Robot's street kids
or the Toy Boarders from AJ's
YogaJoes from Brogamats ; Brian reports they were 'pricy'
and they do look displayed to temp the memento-seeking tourist rather than the
toy fan!

News, Views etc...Around the Web
Lots of stuff coming into the Op's Room recently, so a dissemination post is well over-due!
Starting with a brilliant Blog which has escaped my radar for it's first 100-odd posts, a fantastic resource for that intermediate period between the vintage and the modern (although he does cover the modern), and a subject that doesn't get the coverage it aught to. I'm definitely going to be identifying a lot of my unknown fantasy and sci-fi figures over there, and can't believe he's only got two followers, so buckle-up people and support...
Fantasy Toy Soldiers by Shaun Christensen
Sticking with Blogs for a second; I loved this Battle Report, it's very old school! While for the politically-minded, there's a quite cerebral, yet very funny Blog at Scarfolk Council
Meanwhile; back in the real world you can't make it up....Council Meeting or Ork hoards?
I mentioned these the other day, I'd bookmarked them some time ago, and then a couple of weeks ago they pop-up on Facebook! They've since gone viral, more than doubled the sought funding and will go into production;
Yoga Joes!
Exhibitions
An alternative look at Toy Soldiers and the world they represent over The Pond here; Bay Area, last day today for the exhibition (sorry!), if you're in the neighbourhood over there, you've got a few hours to drop-in, but some nice images with the article...it's a slow-loading jerky page due to to much advertising shite!
And missed This One by half a year...doh!
Consumables
Wall Stickers - we may have looked at these before, but this is a UK outlet, I think it was dollars last time?
Swarovski Crystal Ear-Rings - Lovely, they couldn't be anything else despite being a stack of 'random' beads!
Mugs - Every war-games club should have a couple of sets of these!
Cards for every occasion.
That'll do for now!
