Tough old style plastic Imperial Dalek,the best chunky set of all time.

:cowboy: Pards! The Forum might well have a need for Slug Pellets.

:coffee: Simplicity is the key.
:mrgreen: Yip! BB, sure is rather round, :winky: and simple.

Seven years ago i began the work upon the ancient wall and sure as dogs have fleas and cats have whiskers,i doubt there will be another wall like it.

If i can use packaging before throwing it out to landfill then i do so. Many of the parts needed are stored up in lots of *cardboard boxes*. Sooner or like now much later,other things come my way. Not just a hobby but story telling on the cheap without a huge budget.

Image

:eh: Yes i remember that wall,but where is it? :mrgreen: That be the question for BB, to ponder upon. :sst: high above bb, has revealed to you all where it is.

Giant Companies spread out world wide spend millions upon packaging design!
As for me its comes in sort of free so i make my props needed for film and photo shooting for unwritten story lines that some how while typing them they tend to blend into my sci-fi dreams. It is all make believe. BB

HE - He, More of the Same.

HARPY... prefers the flesh of humans and demihumans.
Once anyone hears the Harpy song the end is agonizingly slow.

Image

O dear me,this one will scare the pants off you, :cowboy: That thing will never get me boots off though. :sst: we are all thankful for such mercies.
:coffee: She is of course another kind of Harpy! :eh: A right thumper too.

As the white blanket stuff is now heavily falling,
I will be rolling by the Doc's Surgery soon, snow or no snow,ta get me jab in my poorest 72 year old working arm.
i have always liked thick snow especially when viewed from indoors out through our windows. The Brecon Beacons, Pen y Fan and Snowdon, always call to me when in winters deep embrace. Old Memories i guess are much better than having none at all ? BB

While mapping out the Playmobil Castle using LEGO Land stuff
i thought why not ship shape, *The Iron Throne*, into place.
:mrgreen: A great idea BB.
:sst: a cold bum every time sitting on that bright welded steel thing.
:drool: Cold Steel & Piles!
:mrgreen: You can laugh now.

Image

The simplest things to make,
makes this hobby well worthwhile doing.
:coffee: No candle wax was required.

Stay safe,Stay warm and Stay well...and i will C U Soon. BB

Peekaboo! 095 Big Radial ... as in rubber tires i guess?

Image

He is a bit scuffed at his back but on a two inch figure it ain't all that bad.

Image

i kind'da like him... 125 Buka ( A ) A good character to obtain. :eh: But not really good at all. :mrgreen: The bad make for more playful fun.

Image

Is this one coiled for action?

Image

045 Springman... has been muted so we will never really know the answer.

Image

Image

166 Mammothman, seeing red. :eh: Is he angry? :mrgreen: Why not go ask him?
:sst: best not.

Image

Image

121 A helmet of *3 stars*,camouflage with arm and snout gun's.
:cowboy: most certainly a *U.S.A Heavy Pounder !*

:coffee: I'll leave it here until next time. See you later. BB

Very nice to see these! Really like you showing us the collection of toys I never heard of. I would be very tempted to start painting them. The tyre guy is maybe not the best idea for a super-hero/villain. Just put a nail in him and he's done with. :-)

Hi Gunnar,
They being highly engineered forklift solid tires.
:mrgreen: Most certainly designed to crunch any foot penguin flat,
:sst: which caused large formations of troops when on parade to woddle about,
:coffee: thus causing highly inflamed soar throats to all flat footed Penguin Officers on Parade too. BB

This Link takes you zooming off to the place where identity of figures can be looked at,just by going through the numbered guide provided. There are Fakes out there,but i determined as always to seek out and obtain the real McCoy.

Yes Jan,
i have long since stopped counting figures of mine,i just buy and display as they are.It has given me something to do daily as i wind down with only limited use of one arm and hand. i am most very thankful that i can still type and write my story book tales. :coffee: And at 72 remain bright as a button.

Thank you Peter, and sorry for late reply.
About the IRON THRONE, fully cast up in a silicone mould, and that see through silicon was meant for candle making ,which sort of seemed humdrum and a wasted exercise for the likes of me.
:coffee: Now a waterfall would look great using that rather affordable stuff.
:cowboy: Ave ya got plans ta build Niagara falls BB? :coffee: That's an interesting question and a bonny breath taking idea,but no. :eh: Bah Humbug! :mrgreen: What the dickens does that mean?
:read: It means an expression of disagreement. :sst: it do? :cowboy: It sure does. :eh: It do?
;-) What does the second word mean? :coffee: It's double meaning is certainly not allowed here.
:eh: I looked it up.Sorry BB,you are not a fraud. :coffee: That is ok Wingnut, after all it was i who wrote it.

I love them one by one! You have me so far that I keep my eyes open when I visit a second hand shop if there are no figures like this! ;-)

Keep them coming Paul! :thumbup:

Well Peter,thank you i like them too,they sort of grow on you and on mass look pretty cool.There are a few more for posting when i can grab time enough to place them here.
It is surprising how long the process takes, but i like doing it and it keeps me busy in active thinking.

My UK Suppliers have just about run out of stock. :eh: I can't think why?

Image

Image

132 ... Screw Kid

Image

Image

155 Shyaneruman ,when split up , Shy'aneru'man ,might help?

Image

Image

:coffee: Farm Fresh... :eh: What does that mean BB ?
:sst: played with condition! :mrgreen: Yes this Pig got Wacked!

:coffee: 032 Kington... a very over weight Pig! :mrgreen: Plenty of crackling though BB.

*The World Has Changed Since November of 2019*
Packaging and postal charges combined with Insurance cost,then beefed up more with Export and Import Tax means i only buy from the UK now.
Paying 20 or 40 times over what they are actually worth is not good trading it is stupidity above and beyond. My opinion is Sellers on E Bay are committing financial suicide! Now i will wait for the market to settle down. :coffee: BB

Over 250 Musclemen have been bought, during this tongue - in - cheek endeavour.

i will keep some to man the steep walls of my block upon block building castles.

:coffee: It has been a good game to play.BB

I like looking at these! Thanks for sharing. Good thing we are a strict 'No politics' forum, otherwise a discussion of the disaster that is Brexit might break out.

Image

The poor little fellow in front of the glue had his complete eye section broken off, in the Royal Mails rumbling system. Yes it got Whacked!
Being imperfect to Alien standards,yes rejected, it was therefore in danger of being whacked again.
This time out of existence! Well no way was i allowing that to happen, so inspite of them all shouting out Exterminate! Exterminate! i took positive action. :eh: but why? It is a monster! :mrgreen: BB,had paid out good cash flow for it,that's why WingNut.

Image

i used the thin glue which fixed tight that broken off section, and after dropping the Dalek several times onto my hard surface work table it never fell apart again. A success in welding shiny brittle plastic back into place in a most positive way.

:coffee: OK guys,that's it until the next one. BB
